All care is important before exercise
The summer project has already started and with this season comes the desire to include physical activity in the routine. The habit of running is easy to “cultivate” because of the ease it brings. However, there are some precautions before “venturing” on the slopes. In this sense, physical educator Thais Nascimento, of GetNinjas, took six important precautions before starting to run.
The six precautions before running
1 – Look for a doctor
There is no point in following someone’s example, that is, do not rely on guesswork and seek advice from your doctor so that he can certify that you are suitable for physical activity.
“Before thinking about doing any physical activity, it is essential to consult a doctor and undergo periodic tests. It is very important that your body is prepared to do physical activities,” underlines Thais.
2 – Try to strengthen your muscles
“In the gym environment there are various tools that allow you to strengthen. However, there are some exercises performed at home in an adapted way that also help to achieve this goal”, adds the professional.
3 – Practice educational exercises before running
Muscles in good condition provide support for starting exercises. Additionally, it will help you with correct posture during an activity.
“Only after strengthening the muscles is it recommended to start educational exercises. They are called educational because they have the task of improving every movement in sport and also help the posture during the activity,” he says.
4 – Don’t forget the ideal shoes for running
Choosing your shoes carefully makes the difference in your performance on the slopes. Forget the “good and cheap” cliché and invest in the lens that helps you avoid injuries.
“Proper footwear is an essential element for running because, in addition to contributing to comfort, it prevents joint injuries and prevents pain in the feet, legs and spine. It also helps you perform better during activity,” he says.
5 – There is no cheating in training
Stick to your weekly routine because only regularity can achieve your goal. “Exercising at least three times a week is ideal to achieve your goal. This includes exercises in the gym, activities at home and running outdoors. The important thing is to maintain concentration and frequency of activities,” he analyzes.
6 – Slow and steady
“Start with small workouts and alternate running and walking or running and rest. This way your body will adapt to the new routine and condition itself. Try all this initially on the treadmill and gradually alternate it with road running”, he concludes Thais Nascimento.
