DON’T LET PAIN PUT YOU ON THE SIDELINES
There is nothingmore exciting than taking on a new challenge, sport or activity. Formost of us, the thrill of accomplishing a physical goal is what we live for. However, are you prepared for it? The term “weekend warrior” means a person who doesn’t really train for what they are doing; they just go out and do it on the weekend. How Do Most Injuries Occur? Most sports injuries occur from ill-prepared individuals who just jump into the activity without first increasing their strength, endurance and flexibility. Your muscles, tendons, ligaments and other tissues need to be warmed up to work properly. They take enormous strain during running and sports activities. Therefore, if they are not in top condition, they are more prone to injury. Injuries Increase As You Age… If you think back towhen youwere in your late teens, youcouldgo intoa full sprint noproblem, take a flying leap and do a whole lot without the slightest thought about it. As you get older, your tissues become less elastic and in fact a little “drier.” When your muscle, tendon and ligament tissues have enoughwater, they are supple and stretchy, allowing you to do a lot of
activities. Keep yourself hydrated and stretch often to maintain elasticity in your muscles. Before and After Knowing the right exercises to prepare for fitness activities is key.
