Avoid injuries, burnout to make spring fitness routine a success

SPECTRUM AND THE WRAL APP ON

YOUR TV OR YOUR STREAMING

DEVICE.

>> WELL, YOU'VE LIKELY HEARD

THE SAYING SUMMER BODIES ARE

MADE IN THE WINTER. WELL,

SUMMER IS JUST AROUND THE

CORNER AND SOME ARE BEGINNING

TO SPRING INTO FITNESS

ROUTINES. CHANLEY PAINTER

SHARES STRATEGIES TO AVOID

INJURIES AND BURNOUT.

>> WHILE MANY PEOPLE SET

FITNESS RESOLUTIONS IN THE DEAD

OF WINTER DATA FINDS MOST FOLKS

AND BANDED THOSE NEW YEAR'S

GOALS. A FEW WEEKS AFTER

STARTING THEM

BUT AS THE WEATHER KEEPS

WARMING UP, ANTICIPATION TO

GET OUTSIDE AND BACK INTO SHAPE

IS GROWING.

BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ACTIVE

ALL WINTER HEALTH EXPERTS

RECOMMEND SPRING INTO SPRING

WORKOUTS WITH CAUTION WITHOUT

PROPER PREPARATION, YOU CAN

SET YOURSELF UP FOR AN INJURY,

SOME COMING INJURIES THAT WE

SEE ART STRAINS OR SPRAINS OF

LIGAMENTS BEFORE EASING INTO A

FITNESS ROUTINE. DERRICK

BURGESS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF

MISSISSIPPI.

>> RECOMMENDS EASING INTO A

WHOLE BODY STRETCHING REGIMEN.

WE ALSO LIKE TO DO DYNAMIC

STRETCHING INSTEAD OF JUST

STATIC STRETCHING. WHAT I MEAN

BY THAT IS ACTUALLY MOVING YOUR

BODY THROUGH. A FULL RANGE OF

MOTION AS YOU'RE STRETCHING

VERSUS JUST ENDED IN ONE PLACE

AND MAYBE TOUCHING YOUR TOLLS

OR REACHING A HEADS UP. AND

WHAT'S IT'S TIME TO START

EXERCISING. DON'T JUST GO ON

THE FIRST DAY AND DO A COMPLETE

WORKOUT WORK YOUR WAY INTO WORK

YOUR WAY UP TO THE MAXIMUM

INTENSITY THAT YOU WANT TO GET.

BUT WHILE SOME PEOPLE MAY BE

TRYING TO CRAM IN SPRING

WORKOUTS FOR SUMMER BODIES,

DR BURGESS SAYS GETTING INTO

PROPER SHAPE TAKES TIME.

SO I WOULD SAY LOOK AT THE LONG

TERM VERSUS LOOKING AT

SHORT-TERM AND GRADUALLY START

TO CHANGE OR EXERCISE, CHANGE

YOUR DIET, CHANGE YOUR

LIFESTYLE FOR HEALTHY. ARE YOU?

AND THAT WAS CHANLEY PAINTER

REPORTING. DON'T FORGET

RECOVERING AFTER A WORKOUT

EXPERTS RECOMMEND PROPERLY
