Working Out in Injury - An Ounce of Prevention is Better Than a Pound of Cure!

It's essential to adopt a gym philosophy guided by at least an ounce of prevention (avoid the extra, irrational weight!) in order to avoid grim consequences, and the uprisings of injuries that can strike both long-term impacts, and short-term burst of pain.

Warm up and cool down
Before you begin your workout session it is important that you perform a warm-up first. Warming up prepares your body for the physical aggravation it is to go through, which inevitably avoids muscle injury during exercise. A warm-up effectively increases your heart rate, and loosens your muscles and joints. Some basic warm-up routines can include jogging for five to ten minutes, skip roping or cycling.

Physical Benefits of Marching

You may have been exposed to marching in your sports class, or if you were part of a marching band back in grade school, but the general perception towards marching is that it does not have any exceptional physical benefits. Even though most aerobics classes and zumba sessions make use of ‘marching in place’ exercises to kick-start the warm up sessions or to cool down after a strenuous workout, not many people give much thought to what this exercise form can do for them in terms of physical benefits. The best thing about marching is that you don’t need any additional equipment. You will only require a comfortable pair of shoes, and workout wear made of breathable, sweat absorbent fabrics.

RUNNING VS. WALKING – WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

There are many factors at play, and in need of consideration before we can establish whether running or walking is better, with respect to health benefits. A leisurely stroll across the park, with the wind slightly whistling through the skin, as the grass shines a bright green under the smiling gaze of an afternoon sun, liberating the body; or a brisk run, complete with an adrenaline rush, heart-thumping, runner’s high, can all help you reap the vast benefits of exercising, and appreciate life with newfound intensity.

The Athlete’s Guide to Injury

It's rare for a recreational or professional athlete to go through their athletic career without injury. Torn rotator cuff muscles, plantar fasciitis, sore lower backs and ankle sprains are all-too common – and athletes expect so much from their bodies that they’re bound to have an injury at some point. The trick is learning to avoid injuries whenever possible, and learning how to recover from one when they occur.
