Strength, Balance and Mobility for Runner Performance

What if I told you that 99.9% of all running injuries were preventable?

Maybe you already knew that. Okay – what if I told you that all running injuries were preventable with just a few minutes of exercise per day? Would you believe me?

Obviously, being injured sucks. It means you can’t run. So you wait a few weeks or a couple of months, and once your injury heals and you get back to running again. Only now you try even harder, because you’re making up for lost time. Soon enough that injury starts flaring up again, or maybe another part of your body starts to get angry. So what’s going on here?

Vibrating Foam Roller Vyper Full Body Mobility Routine

I’m making this video to show you how to use the Vyper vibrating foam roller because I am incredibly impressed with this tool. Not only does it dramatically improve the effectiveness of foam rolling, but it also makes it take less than one-third of the time it usually takes me. Here is a the exact routine I use to target my entire body with the Vyper from Hyperice.

I also want to mention that I am not being compensated by Hyperice to make this video. I’m making this video because I would love for others to experience the same mobility and performance benefits I notice every time I use the Vyper. Enjoy!
