Bulletproof Your Body With Yoga

                 

Bulletproof Your Body With Yoga

For years top Sports Men and Women have kept it a secret that they do Yoga.

From Ryan Giggs to LeBron James, 

Maria Sharapova, Paula Radcliffe and the New Zealand All Blacks,

For Giggs’s part, mixing navasanas and chaturangas into his fitness routine added “another 10 years” onto his career.

After a hamstring injury sustained in training in 2001, he tried lots of different treatmenets, but the only one that kept injury at bay was Yoga.

“Yoga was first about injury prevention, but later it became about recovery,”

 Said Giggs.

“The day after a match, the adrenalin would still be in my body. But the following day, when I got out of bed, everything would hurt, so I would do yoga then.”

This weekend Dale from Bulletproofbodies will be starting his Teacher Training with Sarah Ramsden, the Yoga teacher that helped Giggs stay in the Premiership at Manchester United.

It's not just reserved for yummy mummies with a chai latte addiction.

There is no typical yoga person anymore.

As for those who have been discouraged by feeling they are not
 ‘the yoga type’,

or don’t possess the required dexterity and flexibility.

 “saying you are not flexible enough for yoga
 is like being too dirty for a bath”

Over the years the Bulletproofbodies Boys have watched many, blokes (including ourselves) struggle, 
unintentionally competing with implausibly bendy ladies and not doing themselves any favours at all.

Backs out of alignment, necks crunched, hamstrings screaming out for mercy as the woman on the mat next to him effortlessly (or so it seems), does the splits or seems to put her toes in her ears!

This is exactly why we are doing "injury prevention" Yoga training, that we can all add to enhance our training.

The idea is to make Yoga a daily practice, all that is required is 10 minutes a day.

Apart from Yoga's role in sports recovery, the mental health benefits Yoga affords are making it increasingly popular with everyone.

So get on the Mat and show me your downwards facing dog!

But, the best thing is, at the end of it all and all part of the session, you have a well-deserved lie down.

Bulletproof Your Squats at Therapy Expo

                    

Therapy Expo is always one of the highlights of the Bulletproofbodies Boys year.

With Uzo and Dale both presenting we had to make sure we delivered.

Judging by how packed the rooms were and great feedback on Social media we did not disappoint!

 It is always good to see our friends in Therapy, 

John Gibbons (Body Master Method) 

and

 Mike James (The Endurance Physio) 

Dale was first to present on Bulletproof Your Squats.

Below is the Bulletproofbodies Squat Checklist, the most important slide of the whole presentation.

Uzo’s favourite phrase was making sure your single leg squat does not look like 

“you are doing a bad job at a Disco!”

AEE Special Forces Events Summer Fan Dance

                     

The Fan Dance Summer 2018

Last weekend, July 7^th & 8^th 2018.

The Bulletproofbodies SF Fit team were back in the beautiful Brecon Beacons supporting those brave enough to attempt the Fan Dance series.

The Weather was super-hot, so everyone had to be on point with his or her hydration whether clean fatigue or load bearing.

As usual Bulletproofbodies S F Fit were providing race day sports massage and Physiotherapy for this event.

The great thing about this event is the Endurance Athlete community that AEE has fostered with these adventure weekends. 

https://www.bulletproofbodiessffit.com/

There was even a Foam Roller area for all athletes to self-manage their own musculo-skeletal needs

Calves and Quads were the most popular areas for us to treat.

A big thank you to all the athletes that used our services.

Even the Bulletproofbodies Team found time in our busy schedule to complete High Moon.

Bulletproofbodies S F Fit supports the FAN DANCE Jan 2018

                         

The Fan Dance is a gruelling 24km SAS Selection test march staged over Pen y Fan, the highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons.

The infamous march is the world's oldest Special Forces test and is considered the yardstick of a candidate's potential to perform well on Test Week and ultimately pass the SAS & SBS Selection course.

The AEE Fan Dance event Series is the original version with a provable and undeniable heritage, and the only one exclusively managed and delivered by actual former SAS & SBS staff.
