Tight muscles and how to treat them
Muscles go into a tight state for several reasons. One reason is because it is guarding and protecting itself from damaged muscles. Muscle can be damaged in a positive way if it is simply tight for being worked out hard to exhaustion. Or it can be negative if the muscle is over exerted or over trained. Another reason is dehydration. The human body is made up of 70% water, without proper hydration levels the body shuts down into various degrees. One of which is becoming fascially restricted; restricting the body’s biomechanics.

Boost your energy for running
Many runners say that low energy is one of the key reasons why they don't run as frequently as they'd like. Ironically, regular exercise can improve your energy level so you're more motivated to run. Running, walking, and other forms of cardiovascular exercise help release potent feel-good hormones like endorphins, which help boost energy even hours later. Even a 30 minute run can provide energy-boosting benefits. Try out some of these other suggestions to help fight those feelings of fatigue and boost your energy.

How fat provides energy for exercise
Fat is an essential nutrient for optimal health. Adipose tissue (stored fat) provides cushion and insulation to internal organs, covers the nerves, moves vitamins (A, D, E, and K) throughout the body and is the largest reserve of stored energy available for activity. Fat is stored when we consume more calories then we use.
