Spring is Here! 

(with a little snow surprise!)

Below are some things to remember if you are going to be increasing your outdoor activities this season. 

  • As with any physical activity, make sure you stretch before and after the activity.  Activities such as biking, walking, running, swimming, volleyball, and playing on the playground with your children, can cause you problems if you haven’t done them all winter long.
  • Stretching before an activity may prevent injuries, and stretching after an activity will help prevent soreness the next day.  The weekend warrior (someone who only does physical activities on weekends) as well as the seasonal athlete, are susceptible to injury because they are no longer in condition to do those activities.
  • Take a break.  Listen to your body and rest when you need to, so you do not get any overuse injuries.
  • Gradually increase amount of activity.  This allows your body to get stronger and adjust, rather than becoming injured and weak.
     
Most of us are not yet conditioned for our favorite spring activities.  So it is important to warm up, stretch, and cool down with any activity we do.  It is also important to gradually increase activities so that we get stronger rather than getting injured.  This may take more time, but you will be less likely to end up in Dr. Gwen’s office.
