Use these great tips to get your body ready for Spring and Summer exercise.
1. Ease Back In Gradually
If you’ve been less active over the winter, don’t jump straight into intense workouts. Start with low-impact activities like walking, cycling, or yoga 3–4 times a week to wake your body up and build consistency. Your muscles will get used to the new loads and be stronger for it.
2. Get Aligned
Before ramping up activity, get a chiropractic check-up. A simple adjustment can improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and help your body move more efficiently—which means fewer injuries as you increase your workouts. Book here.
3. Warm Up the Right Way
Ditch the static stretches at the start. Instead, go for dynamic movements (like leg swings, arm circles, or light jogging, simple squats, lunges) to get blood flowing and joints lubricated before exercise.
4. Strengthen Your Core & Glutes
These muscle groups support your spine and hips—essential for running, hiking, or swimming. Add planks, glute bridges, and side steps with resistance bands to your weekly routine. Stay away from sit ups and crunches.
5. Hydrate, Fuel, and Rest
Don’t underestimate the basics: drink more water, eat whole foods, and get quality sleep. These are critical for muscle recovery and overall energy.
