Consider your Macro's!
According to the International Society of Sports Nutritopm (ISSN), protein is an important macronutrient for anyone who exercises regularly, helping improve recovery and promote muscle mass. Protein powder can be a good way to get more protein in your diet (especially if you're vegetarian or vegan), but most people should get enough by consuming high-protein foods. Carbs are important for energy, and healthy fats are another energy-boosting macronutrient that increases vitamin and mineral absorption, and the Mayo Clinic recommends consuming unsaturated fats like avocado, olive oil, and nuts.

A hamstring massage is a therapeutic technique focused on the muscles at the back of your thigh — the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. It’s commonly used to:
- Relieve tightness and soreness
- Improve flexibility and range of motion
- Enhance recovery after exercise
- Prevent or rehabilitate hamstring injuries

Sports Therapy can play a major role in the recovery and long-term function after an Achilles tendon rupture - whether treated surgically or non-surgically. The goal is to restore strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence in the injured leg while minimising the risk of re-injury.

Sports Therapy helps to:
- Prevent compensatory injuries (like knee or hip pain on the opposite leg)
- Build confidence in returning to full activity
- Ensures gradual, evidence-based progression rather than overloading the tendon too soon.
- Offers psychological support - coping with fear of re-rupture is common

Exercising on Halloween can be fun and festive! Here are several ways you can combine fitness with the holiday spirit:

1. Costume Cardio
Go for a run, walk, or bike ride in a Halloween costume. Just make sure it’s safe and doesn’t restrict movement or vision.
Example: Jog as a superhero, ghost, or pumpkin. Bonus points if you dress up with friends for a group “fun run.”

2. Trick-or-Treat Fitness
Instead of just collecting candy, turn it into a game: do a few jumping jacks, squats, or push-ups at each house before moving on. If you’re with kids, they can do a quick exercise with you before earning candy—fun for the whole family!

3. Halloween-Themed Workout
Create a short circuit inspired by Halloween:
Zombie Walks (walking lunges)
Pumpkin Squats (holding a pumpkin or weight)
Ghost Jumps (jumping jacks)
Witch’s Broomstick Twists (Russian twists with a broomstick or weight)

4. Spooky Dance Party
Put on Halloween music and have a 20–30 minute dance session in your living room.
Great cardio and completely festive.

5. Haunted House Challenge
If you’re hosting or visiting a haunted house, incorporate movement: walk briskly through decorations, climb stairs if available, or do playful “monster dodges” to make it active.

6. Candlelight Yoga or Stretch
After a long night of festivities, unwind with a Halloween-themed yoga flow by candlelight. Incorporate moves named after spooky things: “Cat Stretch,” “Coffin Pose,” “Spider Reach.”

Embarking on a fitness journey can be overwhelming if you try to do too much too soon. Start with short, manageable workouts to build your confidence and stamina. Even 10 minutes of brisk walking can make a significant difference. The key is to gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts as you become more comfortable. This approach helps prevent burnout and reduces the risk of injury.
Remember, every bit of movement counts, and starting small is better than not starting at all.
