Research shows that people who use wearable technology, gadgets such as Fitbits, Garmin, and Withings, tend to stick to their exercise routine more faithfully than those who don’t. With many of them, you can track your heart rate, steps per minute, sleep cycles, and more. 4. Increase Your Range of Motion. Avoid shortcuts when it comes to exercising. Strive for using the greatest range of motion. This may include making longer lunges, stretching arms more while jumping rope, or leaning over further during yoga. Whatever the case, doing so helps your muscles do more work per rep, which results in breaking

down more tissue by the end of your workout. If you have difficulty reaching a full range of motion, or have discomfort, consult

your physical therapist. 5. Reduce fatigue.

Studies show that it can increase stamina by up to 16 percent. Furthermore, listen to music that keeps you motivated. Listening to the right music can actually expand your blood vessels by 26 percent. Work on a schedule routine that ensures you get enough rest, exercise, and activity.

“I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the therapists and support staff that have worked withme these past months helpingme onmy road to recovery. They displayed professionalism, courtesy, and knowledge as they patiently motivatedme to do more than I believed I was capable of doing. It gives me hope that I will be able to someday return to my previous activities. Thanks for everything!” -D.C.
