The perils of winter exercise!
Low motivation, increased injury, longer warm ups, and eating to much!
Training in winter is tough, generally we all start thinking about exercise 2 months before summer, getting trim for the beach and wearing the clothes we want to. Exercise is a mental thing.
Our tips for keeping on your regime is to remember why you train, sure it has an image part to play and if were honest its a big motivator, but we all know the benefits of exercise, low blood pressure, less stress, faster metabolism and that feeling of health and well being.
Work,commitments, stress continue in winter, food becomes a comfort on cold days and on average we add 2 – 3 kg every winter that we don’t remove, so exercise plays a major role at keeping these at bay for an all round happier you. We know its tough but the results are immediate so make some extra effort to get to the gym or go for a walk your body will thank you for it and so will you summer clothes!
- keep it straight!
Perfect your posture
With so many training and exercise programs out there how do we look after our bodies, with the extra pressure they produce?
Often exercises will by there nature, add pressure to your lower back and A strain on ligaments and joints, there are some simple rules which will help you train pain free.
1. Warm up before you train. Seems simple but many of us because of time restraints don’t, add it in to your routine.
2. Stretch after your warm up, you can do this through your training but always when your warm.
3. Keep your shoulders back and down during movements this forces your legs to do the work and not your lower back, and protects your neck and shoulders from undue stress and possible injury.
4. Hold your tummy tight, your core doesn’t necessarily switch on when lifting or running so its important to remember it, not just at the core part of your program. Its designed to do a job when moving, so use it.
