Decided to share some information regarding current trend in fitness industry. From most popular fitness equipments to most demanded types of trainings, data below obtained from IDEA World Fitness Equipments and Programs Trends Report 2013. Since few years back till present day, personal training one on one, still top the chart, and fitness tools such as TRX (suspension trainer), Combat/Heavy Ropes and even bodyweight exercises ranked most popular equipments.
Foam rollers and massage balls used primarily in myofascial release is also very popular, ranked 2nd. I must stress how important incorporating myofascial release routines in your daily/weekly program. It will help with muscular dsyfunctions/imbalances, tissue scarring, adhesion, poor biomechanics, etc. It will also help reduce the risk of injuries, especially for those who are fitness enthusiasts, professional athletes or even people who are just playing recreational sports. Others apply this routine as part of lactic acid flush during post workout. It is very important, if you want to improve mobility and performance relating to sports, training, or even daily functional movement. In my program, I use it regularly with my clients. Think of myofascial release as servicing a car, and workout/exercise as on the road car driving/racing.
