😎HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE JOINT HEALTH?😎
These general tips can be applied to all ages!
✖️Maintain your ideal weight
✖️Keep moving! Motion is lotion for joints, and movement eases joint stiffness and pain
✖️Do resistance training. Your cartilage responds well to being under load, within reason, so never lifting weights may be worse for your joint health
✖️Eat anti-Inflammatory foods, such as olive oil, green leafy vegetables, nuts like almonds and walnuts, fatty fish, fruits, and herbs such as ginger and turmeric
✖️Expose your joints to full range of motion. For example, don't avoid squatting to full depth and don't avoid moving your spine into all its ranges of motion

😎HOW TO STAY ON TOP OF YOUR PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE AND PREVENT INJURIES😎

Injuries occur due to many different mechanisms but these general rules can be applied to injury prevention:

✖️Don't get complacent with warming up! Warming up with dynamic stretches and specific exercises will get your muscles firing and your nervous system prepared.

✖️Recover well! Sleep well, eat well and cultivate a positive frame of mind before maxing out on your workouts.

✖️Share the load throughout your whole body to allow for recovery. Avoid the 'arm day erry day' approach. Tendons especially need more time to recover than muscles.

✖️Lift with good technique and seek professional advice if you are inexperienced with certain lifts or training modalities.

✖️After big workouts make sure to stretch, foam roll or go for recovery walks or swims; a warm shower won't always cut it!
