Selecting the Right Footwear for You
|
|
Finding the right fitness footwear can be severely overwhelming for the uninitiated. The myriad models available each tout their own benefits that make them superior other shoes on the market, making it very difficult to determine what will really work best for you.
If you’re struggling to settle on the right shoe, just check out these two tips to help you take the first step toward making the best decision.
What are you doing? Athletic shoes don’t follow the one size fits all model. For instance, cross-trainers are heavier to better protect feet during strenuous workouts, while running shoes are lighter and more flexible to help maximize the movement of your feet. Always seek out the shoes that your workout demands.
Really feel it. Your dogs need to feel comfortable throughout your workout. When you’re trying out shoes, make sure your feet aren’t pinched or cramped in any way. Leave at least half an inch between your toes and the end of the shoe to make sure you’ve got the room to move.

Maintaining Limber Muscles
|
To keep your muscles limber and pliable:
- Warm up. Warming up before you exercise will increase the flow of blood and oxygen to your muscles before you start exerting them, and your joints will begin releasing more synovial fluid, which will also help prevent stiffness.
- Stretch. Letting gravity do the stretching, reach down to your toes and hold for 15 counts. Then take turns leaning over to each side for 15 counts, making a giant "C" with your body. Next, bend your knees from side to side to stretch your groin muscles. After you roll your shoulders around a few times, you should be ready for more vigorous physical activity with less likelihood of injuries.
- Drink your water. Your body uses water as a natural lubricant, cushioning your joints and helping your muscles to stay limber.
- Relax. After you've exercised your body, reward yourself with an Epsom salt bath or a dip in a pool or hot tub. Spring for a massage now and then to treat yourself and keep muscles supple.
