Getting back to the gym during the colder months is a great way to boost your mood and energy, but cold weather can make muscles and joints stiffer, increasing your risk of strain.
Here are 3 quick tips for a pain-free winter workout:
Warm Up Longer: Spend an extra 10 minutes on dynamic movements (like lunges or arm circles) to improve circulation before lifting.
Layer Up: Keep your joints warm while traveling to the gym to prevent "cold shock" stiffness.
Hydrate: You might not feel as thirsty as you do in summer, but your spinal discs need hydration to stay resilient!
Don't let a "New Year, New Me" goal turn into a "New Injury." Dr. Fowler can teach you specific, corrective exercises tailored to your body to help prevent back and neck pain before it starts.
