Depends if its warm up or cool down, here is a general guide. Warm up expose the area for 20 seconds or less. Briskly and lightly move over the muscle. Cool down should be longer exposure time, like 45 seconds or longer per area. Give it time, hold on tight areas for longer periods of time to clam the muscle down.
I’m 52 with tired legs but Been playing basketball All my life and just ran across your video and I am gonna try your warm up advice before my BBall game. I’ll let you know how it goes! Thank you!
Enjoy. This is the time of year I put out content for runners. I put it out at the start of the season so you can utilize that knowledge for the full season. Starting good habits early means it's easier to keep those good habits going.
Yeah every time I use a massage gun or tennis ball before a race it makes my movements more fluid, just more range of motion over all. Because it gets deep in the muscles/tissue. When I don’t, I run stiff, like I’m tripping
Thank you for this great video. Just wondering how long should you massage for one part?
