A Reason to Consider Mobility Training

Many people confuse flexibility with mobility.  What is misunderstood is that you can have great flexibility, but poor overall mobility.  Likewise, you can have good mobility with poor flexibility.  There is a need for a person to have both flexibility and good mobility to enhance their performance.  Also, I had been reading a lot lately on pros and cons of static stretching pre and post workout.  The article I read (link supplied below) touches on leaving the static stretching for a cool-down post workout.  With the wide interest in activities like CrossFit, mobility is now becoming a focus point in training.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for Weight Loss

I was first introduced to HIIT when I participated in a local news station's "reality show," The Get Fit Club.  The coach for my team went over the concept of high intensity interval training as the preferred way for us to exercise during the program.  I actually found it very effective.  Even though I had gotten away from exercise with an overloaded schedule and crazy family life, when following a HIIT program, time is really not an excuse.

I found this article from Shape Magazine informative regarding HIIT:  http://www.shape.com/fitness/workouts/8-benefits-high-intensity-interval-training-hiit
