]]> Did you happen to sprain your ankle while working out? While a frustrating setback, with the right approach, you can overcome this injury in a timely manner. Here are some tips to help you recover from your ankle sprain and get back to the gym.

Protect And Elevate

From the moment you get injured, it’s crucial to protect your ankle so that the injury does not get further aggravated. This includes elevating your ankle and keeping weight off of it in order to limit pressure on the area.

Ice The Sprain

Oftentimes, ankle sprains result in inflammation. Not only will ice help to reduce swelling but it will also numb the pain, enabling you to better cope as you take on your day.

Compress

An important part of your recovery is to compress your ankle so as to prevent too much fluid from accumulating at one point. Make sure to keep your ankle firmly bandaged, but not too tight that it prevents you from moving freely.

]]> Whether you’ve taken up running recently, or have been lacing up your shoes for years, certain aches and pains can plague runners and take all the fun out of the sport. If you’re concerned and keen to avoid the most common injuries, read this advice on how to take care of your running legs for years to come.

Shin Splints

True shin splints are agonising and can make running almost impossible, but before the full-blown version develops you may feel sharp pain running down either side of your shin. Shin splints occur when the tissue becomes inflamed, and they need to be taken seriously – left untreated, they can result in stress fractures in the shin (as nasty as they sound). If you are suffering from aches and pains in your shins, listen to your body and take some rest. A week off running (or any other high impact activity) will let you monitor the pain during rest periods. Ease back in gradually, and at the onset of any pain, stop again. You may need to seek physio, or consider taking up a low-impact sport such as swimming to maintain fitness while you wait for the shin splints to heal.

Plantar Fasciitis

The plantar fascia is an integral part of your foot structure, as it connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that arises when this part of the foot gets inflamed. It can be addressed at home with ice, compression and rest, but you may want to get help from a physio who can recommend exercises and help you find some shoes to support and comfort the sole of your foot. To avoid plantar fasciitis, make sure you have good running shoes that fit you and support the sole of your foot in the first place. Avoid running too fast to start with, ease yourself into each run to allow your feet to warm up.

]]> If you’re an athlete or somebody who just likes to work out, there are many reasons why you might have to take some time off of exercise. Maybe you’re recovering from an injury or an operation. Maybe you’re too sick to exercise. Maybe you’re healing a fresh tattoo or some microblading. Whatever the case may be, when exercise is a huge part of your life, it can be challenging to have to refrain for a while. You might not even know what to do with yourself. Well, here are three ideas for how to spend that time productively.

Reconsider Your Workout Plan

When is the last time that you really revisited your workout routine and thought critically about whether or not it still works for you? If you can’t work out, it’s a perfect time to give another look at your goals, your routine, and your approach, thinking critically about what you might want to change.

Get Inspired

We don’t know about you, but when we can’t work out, we really enjoy living vicariously through others who can. Watching reruns of Olympics events or sports documentaries gives us a bit of the thrill of exercising, plus it makes us super motivated for when we are able to get back in the gym.

Relax!

A lot of the time, fitness enthusiasts forget to take adequate recovery time and breaks. So this is the perfect opportunity to have no choice but to sit back, let your body completely recover, and relax. So don’t hesitate to really chill out.

Slow Pace

Always start off with a slow pace. Don’t run fast right after you’ve recovered from an injury.

Lower The Expectations

You won’t be able to do the same things as you were before. You need to be aware of that in order to prevent being disappointed. Lower your expectations and you’ll be surprised at how good you’re doing.

Do the Walk

Another great way to go back to running after an injury is to start walking first. And we’re not talking about a short walk, but a very long one of around an hour. If you can do that, you’re ready to go.

Rest

First, and one of the most important ways to treat a bruise is to rest. Recovery times vary based on the injury. Make sure you give your body plenty of time to rest and to recover properly.

Ice

Icing limits the swelling by reducing the blood flow to the injured area. However, when applying ice to the injured area it’s important that you don’t apply the ice directly, but to put it in a towel. Apply the ice for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, no longer. Then repeat the process a few times a day.

Elevation

Elevation helps to control the overall swelling. It’s important that you raise your injured area above heart level. It will help control blood flow to the area, and will reduce swelling.

Stretching

Stretching exercises are the best way to warm up and cool down your body. They are essential before and after any kind of workout that you do. The best thing is that you can literally do them anywhere, the office, outdoors, and the gym.

Don’t Overdo It

If you ever feel like your ankles are hurting, stop exercising and try to stretch them out. Pushing harder can lead to sprains and injuries. Also, if you’ve been suffering from a previous injury, it’s best that you take it slow and consult a professional.

Sometimes injuries are harder to deal with psychologically and emotionally than they are physically… • The frustration at being unable to do the movements you want to do. • The disappointment at missing out on events you wanted to compete in. • The anxiety over losing the strength you took so long to build up. • The loss of control by not being able to heal structures the way you want or predict when it will be better…as much as I can control my rehab program…I can’t just make my ankle do what I want. • The upset over not being able to rewind the clock and undo all the damage that occurred. • The stress knowing that regardless of how well I do my rehab, my ankle will NEVER be what it was before. • The surreal feeling of confusion as to who you even are anymore…I’m a runner/lifter/poler…what does your identity become when you’re unable to do those things? • The exhaustion of trying to remain positive and motivated when you feel like you fail because rehab is slow and painful! . This picture shows progress…I’m able to generate enough range and supported stability to get into a deep squat on a bosu…but my eyes are cold and lifeless and show my emotion behind this whole process!!! People can see the small improvements in my gait and movement…but nobody can see the amount of work and effort and pain and distress it has taken to achieve such seemingly basic milestones! .

Try Lunges

Lunges are great when it comes to properly activating your whole legs. If you are working out your lower limbs, all types of lunges will help you get those toned legs. Start out slow, then you can take things up a notch by adding split jumps. This is a smart way to prevent an ankle injury.

There are a million and one reasons that I could give you to do strength training, but one of the least spoken about benefits is how it improves your posture and stance. So many strength training exercises require you to switch on your core, hold your chest high and squeeze your glutes. Just by having correct form in your sessions will incidentally encourage good posture. In turn reducing back, neck and shoulder pain from slouching and hunching over, especially if you spend a good period of your day in front of a computer. Today was leg day.

]]> Mobility and flexibility is the range of motion your body can attain. It is the length at which your muscles can comfortably stretch to. A number of factors can determine mobility, including muscle adhesions, your central nervous system, and soreness. Here you’ll find five benefits of mobility for your overall health:

Reduces Your Risk of Getting Injured

Proper mobility and flexibility will allow you to assume any exercise position with little or no risk of injury. This will ensure stress is evenly distributed throughout your body to prevent injury while exercising.

Improve Your Posture With Mobility

Practicing a good mobility program will help you correct the problem of poor posture. This allows your body to perform optimally as it was originally designed to.

Increase Your Strength With Mobility

Mobility makes it possible for you to lengthen your muscles beyond your threshold so that you won’t be limiting your strengths when it comes to performing any range of motion. It will maximize your performance, allowing you to generate sufficient power.

Reduce or Eliminate the Issue of Lower Back Pain

Occasionally, because of the anterior pelvic tilt, there’s more pressure on their lower back than normal.This increases the likelihood of injury when performing simple tasks. Mobility will help you correct the issue without resorting to using painkillers.

Effective Stress Reduction

Mobility and flexibility methodologies including yoga poses have been found to reduce stress efficiently. Stretching your muscles is believed to facilitate blood flow, and it allows your body to recover quickly.

So many strength training exercises require you to switch on your core, hold your chest high and squeeze your glutes. Just by having correct form in your sessions will incidentally encourage good posture. In turn reducing back, neck and shoulder pain from slouching and hunching over, especially if you spend a good period of your day in front of a computer. Today was leg day.

A number of factors can determine mobility, including muscle adhesions, your central nervous system, and soreness. Here you’ll find five benefits of mobility for your overall health:

Reduces Your Risk of Getting Injured

Proper mobility and flexibility will allow you to assume any exercise position with little or no risk of injury. This will ensure stress is evenly distributed throughout your body to prevent injury while exercising.

Improve Your Posture With Mobility

Practicing a good mobility program will help you correct the problem of poor posture. This allows your body to perform optimally as it was originally designed to.

Increase Your Strength With Mobility

Mobility makes it possible for you to lengthen your muscles beyond your threshold so that you won’t be limiting your strengths when it comes to performing any range of motion. It will maximize your performance, allowing you to generate sufficient power.

Reduce or Eliminate the Issue of Lower Back Pain

Occasionally, because of the anterior pelvic tilt, there’s more pressure on their lower back than normal.This increases the likelihood of injury when performing simple tasks. Mobility will help you correct the issue without resorting to using painkillers.

Effective Stress Reduction
