Fitness tips
Getting and staying fit can be a challenge.
ThermaCare® has collected these useful tips to help make exercise a way of life that can be enjoyable and as pain-free as possible.
-
Consult your doctor — It's important to do so before beginning a new exercise regimen.
-
Choose activities you enjoy — Make exercise a fun part of your day.
-
Be consistent — Maintaining an exercise regimen is one of the best ways to attain your health goals. Make fitness a part of your schedule, just as you would for other daily or weekly commitments.
-
Buddy up — Exercising with friends can help keep you both motivated, and may encourage you to work harder than you normally would if exercising alone.
-
Set realistic goals — It takes time to build strength and endurance. Rushing or over-exerting may be a source of injury.
-
Give yourself a reward along the way — Setting 'short-term' in addition to 'long-term' goals gives you a feeling of accomplishment toward achieving a more healthy and fit lifestyle. Something new for your wardrobe or extra pampering could do the trick!
