Spring is upon us and with that usually comes increased outdoor activities. It's absolutely great to begin a walking program at this time of year. Also, many people who love to do yardwork and garden begin their plans for spring planting preparations. I always say you must move your body to keep being able to move your body. Once you stop moving, its very difficult to begin again, but not impossible if you don't wait too long. So, this spring, get active again and set a goal for daily workouts. A couple of simple tips will make your spring time much more productive:
1. Always warm up and stretch your muscles before you begin exercising or using them. A cold muscle is more likely to be injured when pushed beyond normal than one that is warmed up and stretched.
2. A preventive visit to your chiropractor will get out those winter kinks and possibly prevent a more long lasting back injury. Keep your spine working like it was designed to work.
Have a great Spring!
