Benefits of Using the Yoback for Runners

Benefits of Using the Yoback for Runners - Eastnole

Why is Yoback Important for Runners?

Running is a high-impact activity that places a lot of stress on the muscles and joints. While it's an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise, it can also lead to muscle stiffness and injury if not correctly balanced. Incorporating using the Yoback into your running routine can offer a balanced approach to fitness, targeting not just your legs but your entire body and mind. 

Yoback offers immense benefits for athletes. It complements cross-fit exercises, minimises the risk of injuries, and helps manage knee pain. It's also beneficial for runners engaged in plyometrics and other high-intensity training.

 

Benefits of Using the Yoback for Runners

Increased Flexibility

Increased flexibility is one of the most immediate benefits of using the Yoback into your running routine. Yoback stretches multiple muscle groups and joints, making them more pliable. This increased flexibility can lead to a more fluid running form, reducing the risk of injuries like muscle strains and ligament tears.

Improved Mobility

As well as increasing your muscle flexibility, stretching with the Yoback can help to increase your joint mobility and improve your range of motion. This increase in range of motion is particularly vital for the lower body—hips, knees, and ankles—helping to alleviate the repetitive strain from extensive running. Enhanced joint mobility improves your running efficiency and helps prevent injuries, ensuring you can continue to train effectively and safely.

Strengthens the Body

While running primarily targets the lower body, Yoback offers a more balanced, full-body workout. Exercises like the plank and press-ups build upper body strength, which can be beneficial for maintaining good running posture. Stronger muscles also mean better shock absorption for your joints, reducing the impact of each stride.

 

 

Aids in Active Recovery

Active recovery is essential for your rest days. It allows you to stretch out sore muscles, improve blood circulation, and reduce muscle tension. Spend 5 minutes rolling on the Yoback during your rest days can speed up your recovery, ensuring you're ready for your next run.

Helps to Reduce Plantar Fasciitis & Other Running Conditions

Using the Yoback to stretch out your calves and ankles can effectively reduce plantar fasciitis, shin splints and Achilles tendonitis. Try the calf stretch, calf raises and tibialis raises and feel the difference immediately.
