Aches and pains

Lets talk about how to avoid Injuries, and minimise them. As our bodies get older we lose the elasticity that we had when we were younger. So a way of dealing with this, is to do stretching exercises before we start in the gym. By doing these they will help to avoid aches and pains. An other Prize of regular exercise are Endorphins which your body produces with regular work outs in the gym. Endorphins are addictive, and set you up for the rest of the day giving you a sense of well being. Your friends and family at home will envy you and your new found confidence and fitness. The down side is that if you stop exercising for any length of time, your fitness will decrease.

So make the gym and the food programme part of the rest of your life.

Lets talk about clothing and trainers. Michelle will point you in the right direction on things like sports bras, choosing the correct one for you is essential. You will need two sets of t-shirts and shorts and bras. Do not buy cheap trainers, or your feet will suffer. With trainers you get what you pay for, so buy well known brands. They know from professional athletes which are comfortable and wear well.

Dehydration is something else that can cause you problems. Sweat or perspiration from ladies (Ha Ha.) causes dehydration which in turn causes niggling pains and aches. Always carry a drinking water bottle with you. Most gyms will provide you with cool fresh water from special drinking fountains.
