Losing flexibility in our connective tissues can lead to a host of problems, including injury.   This is why warming up before a workout and incorporating stretching and foam-rolling* in our routines is so important.   If you have questions about preserving connective tissue function, see a Sun City personal trainer today!   *Foam-rolling is contraindicated in some cases, depending on the diagnosis of your discomfort. If you have concerns, discuss them with your doctor and seek workout advice from a trainer. ____________   From the personal training staff: John Rutan, Don Moore, JB Baier, Victoria Young, Allison Worley, Julie O’Connor, Michelle Dwyer, Brendi Middleton, Mike Stuchl, Lois Johnson, Rachelle Johnson and Byron Goff.     Questions about personal training? Visit our website or email John Rutan at [email protected].
