Fremont Therapy Group has a few tips for you as you start getting active now that the snow is finally melting. Take care of yourself PROACTIVELY before you get active!
- Dynamic warmup. Before you start your exercise, you need to warm your body up. A dynamic warm-up promotes blood flow, helps prevent injury and muscle soreness, and helps improve overall performance.
- Pace yourself on the first few days of activities to avoid a training injury. Ease into the intensity and the length of time of your activity. Don’t go too hard on those first few workouts.
- Static stretch after your exercise. Hold each stretch for at least 20-30 seconds.
- As you start to feel more consistent with your exercise, you can increase your duration/intensity by 10% every few weeks to keep your progression going
This is the perfect time of year to check in with your PT if you haven’t gone in a while. Especially if you plan to train for a race or are active in the warmer months and want to avoid an injury that will set you back.
