Bo Sox Power

The Way You Perform Your Workout Program
Workout or exercise is important both for your body and mind but
have you ever considered how you're actually doing your workout
program? Whatever you do, if you are involved in a sport or
activity that has potential for injury, specifically head
injury, use the proper equipment no matter what anyone else
tells you. For example, if you are involved with skateboarding
and this is how you stay in shape, good for you! However, you
need to wear protective gear such as a helmet, gloves, knee
guards, etc. Most people think that something significant has to
happen in order to get a head in jury. Unfortunately, that is a
huge misconception. The truth is that falling one foot onto the
pavement and hitting your head is enough to cause serious injury
or death. This is the time to put your pride aside and think of
safety first.
Remember to take a break
People who exercise need to take a break now and then. If you
are actively involved in a workout regimen but you are getting
ready to go on vacation for two weeks or have an extra heavy
workload for your job over the next couple of weeks, instead of
just stopping your routine completely during that time, just cut
back. Even reducing your workout by 50% will give you the break
you need but also make it much easier to get back to full speed
than if you just stopped altogether.
Make yourself ready to run
Before any exercise, always remember to warm up. If you are a
runner, before you go out for your actual run, take two to five
minutes to jog in place to prepare. You will find that you have
a better run
Cool yourself Down
Cooling down after exercise is just as important
as warming up
before you start. Once you have completed your workout, take
five to 10 minutes to walk, or stretch to allow your body to
cool down. This is very important for the muscles and joints and
for the heart and lung.
Check your pulse regularly
It is a good rule to keep track of your pulse rate as you
exercise,. You can pick up an inexpensive pulse measure at any
local Wal-mart, K-Mart, or sporting good store. This will
measure your heart rate to ensure you are staying within a
healthy range. The rate is measured by counting the beats of
your heart in a set amount of time, usually about 15 to 20
seconds, and then multiplying the number of beats to get your
number of beats per minute. For example, if your pulse at 20
seconds were 40, since there are 60 seconds in a minute, you
would take 40 times three for a total rate per minute of 120.
Exercise in the summertime
Exercising outdoors can be refreshing and fun but it can also
cause problems, especially in the summertime if you do not
follow some simple rules. Make sure you are drinking enough
water, about 16 ounces every 30 minutes, before, during, and
after exercise. Some sports drinks have special ingredients that
help replenish fluids to prevent dehydration.
