Spring is here! All around us is activity as nature springs back to life after a long winter. Truly, spring is a time for growth, change, and action. It’s no surprise that this time of year many people are looking to become more active themselves and get in shape for summer. Some simple tips can help you get the most from your workouts and meet your summer goals.
You’ll not only protect yourself from injury, you’ll see the results you’re looking for. (If you’re uncertain about the right way to do an exercise, ask us! One of our degreed and certified fitness specialists can answer your questions and show you the safe, effective way to perform any exercise.)
Before your workout, warm up with low-intensity exercises. To cool down afterward, use static stretching — hold a stretch for 15–30 seconds a couple times. This will help increase flexibility and range of motion. For specifics, please ask one of our fitness specialists.
As you exercise, you lose fluid through sweating. Insufficient fluid in the body can lead to overheating, muscle cramps, reduced performance, and more. To stay hydrated, drink water an hour or so before your workout to prepare your body for exercise. Then replace fluid as you lose it during and after your workout.
Strength training provides several great benefits, including: improved physical performance, protection from injury, increased resting metabolic rate, and better bone health. For best results, be sure to involve all the major muscle groups two or more days per week at a moderate-to-high intensity. You can use weights or your own body as a form of resistance.
This is the perfect season for outdoor activities — taking walks, starting a home improvement project, going for a bicycle ride, or planting a garden. Simply being healthy and active is what’s important, no matter where you do it.
