Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello, Welcome today to the Power of Muscle podcast. We're
gonna be talking about building muscle strength and flexibility for
a winning combination, the combination which is necessary to make
sure that you have the appropriate amount of enhanced overall fitness,
whether you're looking to become better in athletics, you know,

(00:25):
overall having optimum health. These are attributes of both strengthening
the muscles and building muscle strength and balancing that muscle
strength and also improving your flexibility and having the mobility
in the joint, the range of motion in the muscle
in which you can have the best in optimum use

(00:47):
of that muscle. Whether it's you're doing running, whether it's
you're gonna be being in swimming competitions, whatever that sport
or activity you're gonna be doing, you really need to
continuously focus on that building muscle strength and building flexibility
in that muscle because the adage of you know, getting

(01:10):
a muscle stronger is somewhat true that you can get
it strong and a certain range of motion, and that
is not allowing you to become fully flexible on one
side or the other of that of that muscle and
of that joint. So if you need mobility in your shoulder,

(01:30):
and yet you're you're using the strengthening of the back
of the triceps, and you start to strengthen the back
of the triceps in the one area of the triceep
and not having a good range of motion throughout that
triceep strengthening, then your potentially will you know, get some
limited mobility in your shoulder because the tricep itself has

(01:53):
been getting too strong and and it's been sort of
holding back some of the range of motion mobility of
the shoulder. So we really want to continuously work on that,
uh you know, exercise for muscle building, which would be
to you know, to really focus on building that overall strength,
to having that muscle tone and muscle mass increase, and

(02:16):
make sure that involves you know, you're going to involve
resistance training, whether it's body weight, whether it's machines or
bands or kettlebells and dumbells. You're going to be working
on that strengthening and making it, uh you know, improve
that muscle mass, improve that overall strength, and that's going

(02:36):
to obviously gradually increase your repetitions, your intensity over time.
You want to gain a little bit more of that,
So you can build that muscle strength and muscle tone. Now,
when you're looking at the range of motion of you
in your joints and your muscles, you're you're really making
sure you're going to be preventing injuries and improving your

(02:57):
athletic performance, maintaining overall mobile and that could take that
it's gonna take a focus. It's going to take a
focus on your stretching exercises. You know, during your warm
up and and also post workout, we usually like to
do some more static to relax the area and relax

(03:18):
and get the blood flow back to normal instead of
leaving that stress on the muscle, but sort of doing
that slower, small static or yoga style stretches after you've
finished your workout to alleviate that tension and that stress
and that blood flow which you put on the muscles.

(03:38):
So you're going to use this combination of flexibility enhancement
to make sure that you're doing these dynamic stretches in
the beginning warming up, making sure you have that elasticity,
that movement and uh and looseness to the muscle belly itself.
So if it's a hamstrings or it's the triceps, how

(04:00):
is that muscle elasticity moving through the range of motion,
and you want to do that prior to then you
obviously go ahead and you want to loosen those muscles
up after or maybe once a day, do a a
longer sort of stretch, static stretch or yoga style stretching
later on. Now you can also look at some pilates

(04:22):
as well. These movements are gonna centralize into your core
and then work outward into your into your extremities, which
goes right along with the muscle equalizer program and the
muscle balance which you want to achieve. To Mind Muscle
