Ruthie's Step 32

Ruthie’s Step 32… New to movement!....

New to Exercise with help from an article.....



Beginning
an exercise program can be very overwhelming and painful if you aren't careful.
Warming your body up and stretching prior to exercise is very important for
your health and will allow you to see better results.



Warming up will allow all of your connective tissues that haven't been
stretched recently to handle the stress put on during exercise, limiting your
chances for injury.



Proper warm up and stretching also help reduce the severity of soreness in the
next day or two following the workout. The increased blood flow helps deliver
more oxygen to the muscles and gets rid of the waste products that contribute
to soreness.....

Another
reason for soreness is trying to do too much too soon. Start out with a few
exercises and slowly progress. ....

Most
people expect to exercise the first few weeks and experience a shot of energy. The
opposite often occurs. Your body isn’t used to the added stress, you feel
fatigued and drained. Don’t get discouraged; it’s natural to feel this way
until your body gets use to it.....

This is what has happen to me. All this exercise and I was so
tired! This has passed and now I can full blast!....

Overexertion
will trigger stiffness and soreness, causing many people to give up. If you do
overdo it, there are a few things you can do to feel better. Exercise actually
breaks your muscles down – sleep, nutrition, and hydration play a vital role in
their recovery. Proper rest, refueling your body with healthy food, and
drinking plenty of water will help you recover much more quickly. ....


Your body loses a large quantity of water when you work out, so it is very
important to drink more water as you exercise. ....

Keep on keeping on……making better
choices for a healthier you!....
