If is your first time working out or just your first time in a long time, LISTEN to your body!
I want you to challenge yourself but I also want to to be able to walk the next day!
During your workout remember these tips...
Go at your own pace and rest if you need it
Stay hydrated
Get lots of sleep
Please tell me if something feels wrong
Remember to stretch before or after if you need too
EAT at least 1 hour before workout--that early morning is EARLY so if your not up an hour before- eat the minute you get up. Meal Replacement work GREAT in the AM.
If you are feeling sore take a bath in some Epsom salt and take some Ibuprofen. If Ibuprofen does not work --R.I.C.E.
If you suffer from any sports injury, use R.I.C.E. The term stand for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.
REST- Take a break from any type of movement that may stress the injured area.
ICE-Ice the affected area. Icing can reduce pain, limit swelling, and encourages rapid healing. Wrap ice in towel to avoid direct contact with skin. OR use frozen veggies!
COMPRESS-Compress with a stretch bandage-not to tight!
ELEVATE-If possible elevate above the heart--at least higher than the hips
Also remember-you may be sore at first but you will get through it and you will get healthier and stronger!!!
AGAIN--GREAT JOB!
