Why exercise?

For me, exercise is evident when I looked 40 years, user wheelchair overweight and sedentary for more than 33 years. It was time to act. And action is exactly what I had when I met Delia Carper, a coach staff and a dietician.

I know what you think: Who can afford a personal trainer? But at this stage of my life I thought I could not afford hire one. At my age and with a long-term injury of spinal cord injury (SCI) I was a candidate for diabetes, heart disease, blood clots blood, the continued loss of range of motion and mobility. It was time to occupy and make a lifestyle change.

Carper explained the ways to begin an exercise program. One option was to go to a health club that was willing to purchase adaptive equipment. Another way is to start practice. She said she needed the exercise cardiovascular program and strength training for a full year. Working in a gym looked intimidating to me, so I decided to start doing at home.

Because I had done no physical activity for so long, Carper said I need a transition period to strengthen key muscle groups and increase my range of motion through simple stretching exercises. For example, it suggested using my own body weight to the movement and increased circulation before try using weights. I want to go out with weights, but she said I should start with simple body movements, and as I grew stronger, which would more weight.

Stay Focused

When starting an exercise program, the pace of himself and be attentive to your breathing rate, Heart Rate, and how you feel in general. Ideally, You Want to work your way to a session of training hours (for example, cardiovascular activity and weight) three times a week. A great way to ensure you are not overexertion is to buy a heart monitor / sports watch in a sporting goods store.

When you start exercising, do not be discouraged. If you are only two minutes of an activity during the working session, it's fantastic. Everyone should start by somewhere.

Carper stressed that to build muscle strength and tone, improving your ability to perform repetitive tasks with less fatigue muscle, you must perform the exercise with less weight and more repetitions (ie 15 repetitions x 3 sets). To gain muscle strength and power, use heavier weights and less repetitions (ie 8 reps x 3 sets). In the exercise is less difficult, the weight may increase followed by an increase in repetitions. Plan a day of rest between workouts, and do not work not the same muscle group two days in a row. May You must use trial and error to establish a Healthy Weight.

Remember, you should be able to complete three sets of trials with a target range without pain or movement. People with SCI have to maximize muscle strength and endurance and low functional groups existing without overuse injuries. By undertaking a variety of exercises, you can prevent overuse injuries and promote muscle balance.

Note that luxury does not require gym equipment. Improvise with household items such as cans, water bottles, beach volleyball, volleyball, or other practical items around your home. You can also make a small investment in exercise bands, medicine balls, or weight that can be purchased at a sporting goods store, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. As I said before, I felt uncomfortable going to the gym, so I started in my house with soup cans, light weight, and exercise bands.

Ready, Set, Exercise!

Before starting an exercise program, a physical examination to determine the limitations to exercise and detect possible medical complications. Once you have received the green light from a medical professional who has begun to strengthen and stretch the affected muscles, is ready to begin to an exercise program.
