Dealing With Your Fuzz?

This is straight up jacked from Crossfit SF, but it’s just such a strong point that it needs a bigger audience!

I LOVED this video. I’ve been in a number of anatomy labs, seen my fair share of cadavers, but this is something that you usually don’t see because the cadavers are almost always prepared in advance.  The pertinent structures are always exposed, and they don’t treat the fascia as an actual structure to be looked at and thought about in itself.

You watched the video right?  Are you dealing with your daily fuzz?

Foam rolling?  Stretching?  yoga?

I know I usually roll around in bed for a minute before I get rolling, but I also know that there are definite areas that I don’t get on a daily basis, and every once in a while I’ve got to have ‘em beaten out by a massage therapist.  Ellen deals with the fuzz if I don’t.   You can always take the massage therapist route, but it’s better to empower yourself and deal with the issue head on, at your own level.

But back on track here.  You don’t need to go into crazy yoga poses to deal with what builds up on a daily basis.  All you need to do is see that each joint gets to go through its full range of motion at least once per day.  A lot of us go days without even raising our arms above our heads!

Personally, I like to take some time every day to roll around the carpet, stretch out, and just let go of all the daily tension.  Deal with my ‘fuzz’ that is.   Deacon, our household ruffian, does this about 35 times per day;

Deacon deals with his Fuzz on an hourly basis

Roll the shoulders around, do some upward dogs, a few full squats, neck circles……..don’t forget the feet and lower legs too.

You get the idea…….Take a little time to deal with your fuzz tonight, and every other night.
