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 running habit is easy to “cultivate” due to the ease that surrounds it. However, there are some precautions before “venturing” through the slopes. In this sense, the physical educator Thais Nascimento, of GetNinjas, has taken six important precautions before starting to run.
The six precautions before running
1 – Find a doctor
There’s no point in pandering to someone’s “pause”—that is, not relying on guesswork and seeing a doctor so they can certify that you’re fit for physical activity.
“Before thinking about practicing any physical activity, it is essential to consult a doctor and carry out periodic examinations. It is very important that one’s body is prepared for the practice of physical activities”, underlines Thais.
2 – Try to strengthen your muscles
“In the gym environment, there is a variety of equipment that provides strengthening. However, there are some exercises done at home in an adapted way that also help achieve this,” adds the professional.
3 – Practice educational exercises before running
Muscles in good condition support the start of exercises. Other than that it will help you in the correct posture of an activity.
“Only after strengthening the muscles is it recommended to start educational exercises. They are called educational because they are responsible for improving each movement of the modality and also help with posture to carry out the activity,” he says.
4 – Don’t forget the ideal shoes for running
Meticulous shoe choice makes all the difference in performance on the slopes. Forget that cliché of “good and cheap” and invest in the lens that helps avoid injury.
“Proper footwear is an essential element for running because, in addition to contributing to your comfort, they prevent joint injuries and prevent pain in the feet, legs and spine. They also help you perform better during the activity”, he claims.
5 – No workouts skipped
Respect the weekly routine because only regularity can achieve your goal. “Exercising at least three times a week is ideal for reaching 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,” she analyzes.
6 – Slow and steady
“Start with small workouts and alternate between running and walking or running and resting. This way your body will adapt to the new routine and condition itself. Try all this on the treadmill, initially, and gradually alternate it with road running ” concludes Thais Nascimento.
