Stretch and recover with MELT Method and Yoga Tune-Up techniques (Video)

OK, who remembered to stretch today? No? Youre not alone. Many people on a weight-loss program focus on cardio and strength training but give little attention to the stretching and recovery part of their fitness plan. But we found a couple of great ways to soothe those overworked muscles.

The MELT Method (HarperOne, $25.99), by Sue Hitzmann, came out a few months ago and gained a lot of buzz when Hitzmann, a somatic-movement educator and manual therapist, was featured on The Dr. Oz Show. The book explains Hitzmanns Hands-Off Bodywork techniques, which means you can soothe yourself without having to go to a massage therapist.

MELT is a Myofascial Energetic Length Technique, which Hitzmann teaches to instructors around the country. A fat reduction overview can help you produce a clear outline of what you require to focus on to achieve your fat reducing objective if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an advanced or more enhance phase of their losing weight plan. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as tips for your special weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss applications have misled people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by resulting in a person's body to lose more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. But you can now do it at home with her new book.

You do this by unsticking your connective tissue through the use of small rubber balls and foam rollers. Those tools simulate the hands-on techniques that a therapist would use, except that you can do it in your home.

Hitzmann likens foam rolling to ironing a shirt or vacuuming a rug, with the intention of releasing muscle tension by improving blood flow. And yes, it can be a little uncomfortable, as anyone who has used a foam roller can attest. But Hitzmann uses a soft foam roller instead of a firm one so that the experience is more beneficial than tortuous.

The Yoga Tune-Up Therapy Ball Program also utilizes small therapy balls in its self-massage program. Jill Miller creator of Yoga Tune-Up, has an upper body and a lower body kit, which come with two Tune-Up therapy balls, an instructional audio CD and a visual guide.

Ever have anyone tell you to roll around or sit on a tennis ball? Its a similar sensation but Miller offers targeted placement and moves to soothe sore and tight muscles.

The Lower Body Series is designed for your lower back, hips and feet. Sequences on the CD include the lower back, hips and buttocks, IT band, calves and feet.

The Upper Body Series targets trigger points in your upper back, neck, shoulders and rotator cuff. The CD also offers upper neck and jaw bonus tracks.

And if you already have therapy balls and find that a DVD would be easier to follow, you can use Millers Yoga Tune-Up DVDs for the lower and upper body, knees, and athletic stretches.
