News & Information
After a long winter of reduced activity or inactivity you might be tempted to get outside and start practicing as soon as the weather improves. You may also be tempted to practice at the same level you did at the end of the last season. But such enthusiasm often leads to early season injuries. If you changed your routine for the winter, you need to get back into shape slowly. Here are some tips for avoiding injuries as you increase your exercise this spring.
1. Try to get some exercise 3-4 times per week on alternate days. One of the best ways to get injured or sore is to go hard on the weekend and do nothing during the week.
2. As you get back to training this spring, you may have some minor muscle aches and soreness. But if you have any sharp, unusual pain, or a soreness that doesn't go away, pay attention. You may be on the way to a lingering injury. Listen to the warning signs your body is giving you.
3. Try to avoid the all-out efforts. Depending upon how much inactivity you had over the winter, it could take as long as 6 weeks to re-establish a solid fitness base. Start your exercise program with slow, steady aerobic sessions whenever possible. If you do add intervals of all-out efforts, make sure you allow enough rest and recovery (at least 48 hours) between those hard effort training days.
4. Cut yourself some slack. If you took the winter off, don't expect to be back to peak fitness in a week or two. It's okay to go slow and just enjoy being outside again. The season is long, so don't worry about going a bit slower in the beginning.
5. Don't forget to have fun. Keep in mind that spring training is a time for fun, light-hearted exercise. You aren't competing, and you aren't burnt out yet. So just relax and enjoy your activity.
