Howard Perch knows well the importance of safety when it comes
to exercise; having not only worked for a number of years in the field of
exercise physiology, but having acquired more than 20 years of experience as a
mainstay and leader in the field of healthcare.
An accomplished hospital administrator and exercise
physiologist, Howard Perch understands how easy it can be to suffer injury as a
result of what is often considered by many to be a fundamental physical
activity, particularly for those who engage in the activity under prepared.
While exercise can have enormous health benefits in terms of
building muscular strength, improving endurance and working out one’s
cardiovascular system, it can also increase the risk of physical injury to
those who fail to adhere to safe exercise practices. These include:
·
Challenging yourself slowly. It’s not enough to
understand your body’s limitations, but to avoid pushing yourself too far
beyond your own limits over the course of your exercise routine. Doing too much
too fast can lead to avoidable injury in a hurry.
·
Taking time to stretch/warm-up beforehand.
Loosening up muscle groups, “limbering up” and preparing your body for the
challenges of a grueling workout is key to avoiding cramps, tears, strains and
other injuries that commonly result from strenuous activity.
