As we come up with summer, many of us are increasing our workouts to get this chiseling summer body.
Dr. James Gladstone, a sports chief of sports at the Mount Sinai Health Systems Orthopedics Department, has some warning words: call it a bone to choose, if you like, for fitness fans who could be in danger of giving a boo-boo.
Gladstone joked to the publication that many of his patients are in a little denial about his age, but “there are ways around him; just be a little smarter.”
There is many patients who make one of the two usual errors.
“There are those who are very well conditioned and only fired more. So they work four or five times a week and only want more outside of themselves,” he said.
“In these cases, they can increase -too quickly or do a little too much or on -a training.”
Gladstone says these patients often obtain tendinitis, sore shoulders, elbow injuries and TI band syndrome: pain between the hips and knees of excessive use.
“Then maybe even more common, because I am in New York City, they are the weekend warriors who do nothing throughout the day, sit on a desk, they have a terrible posture, they probably eat and drink too much only by the nature of their work and … they go out on weekends and try to relive their 20 years,” he said.
“And they get into trouble just doing too much without being well conditioned.”
Not only does it talk about being in shape: eating well, sleeping enough and moisturizing -properly in the good that responds your body to exercise.
Because “if you don’t do anything throughout the week and then go to play three or four hours of tennis, you may end up hurting your back, you may be able to strain the quads or the calf or maybe it will hurt you on your shoulder,” he said.
From an osteopathic point of view, some of the best exercises you can do, especially as they grow old, will be accessible and low.
“Yoga and Pilates are excellent because almost anyone can do them at any level of conditioning and it will be good,” he said.
Bonus points If the activities leave you from the house so you can get the additional benefits for fresh air health.
“Walking is great because it takes you out, it breathes you, it causes the heart rate to increase a little,” he said.
“Swimming and bicycle are also fantastic exercises that do not stress the body in traumatic ways.”
The so dim picotleball has been giving a boost to mental health, but it is important to take care of not injured.
“Pickleball has become incredibly popular and I think it’s about knowing your limits,” he said.
“Most people who see that they are injured with the picotleball are 50 or 60 years old and play as if they are at their twenties.”
Finally, for healthy aging, it is also crucial to remember.
“The bigger you have, the narrower you have your ligaments and, less well, your body moves,” said Gladstone.
“Making regular stretching routines is of great help, and keeps you without problems.”
