High Jump Season is Almost Here: A Vital Tip (Unless You Like Injuries)
Hey Jumpers,
Wow...mid February already. Love is in the air, same with a few
presidents' birthdays (in the states at least), and so is the
outdoor track season :)
Today's email will be short, but 100% important to the success of
your season. Some of your will start training within a few weeks,
maybe even sooner than that. Before then, your tip is to...
...get off your butt and go do something.
I don't care what it is: basketball, jogging, snowshoeing...just get
your body active again.
High jumping has some very unnatural movements. Make sure when you
get out on the track in a few weeks your body isn't shocked by the
the fact that you haven't moved more than to the fridge and back
for 6 months.
So, today, tomorrow, and again next week go get your body active
again. This will help you prevent some random, early-season injury
that will hurt your season before it ever starts.
