As the summer winds down, and we settle in for a great Fall workout program, the following article highlights some of the key aspects of a smart and effective schedule. The highlights focus on what to avoid to stay injury free:
- Too Much Too Soon
- Poor Planning and Goal Setting
- Wrong Workout Gear
- Poor Exercise Form
- You Don't Mix It Up
- You Think Negatively
- Poor Nutrition
- Don't Rest Enough
After looking over this list, I am suspect in 5 of these categories, and at 59 years old, I am prone more to injury unless I straighten up my act!!!
On a personal note, tomorrow August 7th, I am starting a personal 150 day program to get in shape and shed 30 pounds. I will try to use the advice learned from this nice article to stay focused with better cross training, a more positive attitude, better diet and amount of sleep (less blogging!!??), and a gradual buildup in my exercises.
