Why Not Wednesday Tip of the Day: Why not discuss injuries and how to work around them today?! Some of you may have seen on my Snapchat that I’ve been dealing with some back issues, which leads into a great question that many of us face. When we have an injury or even feel ill, should we workout or take a rest? First off, I always say listen to your body. No one knows what’s better for you than you!
Generally, when it comes to an injury, I always suggest working around the injury instead of pushing through. For instance, I currently have pain in my upper back that stretches into my neck, so for me, working around this injury means not placing a barbell on my shoulders or training back. Pushing through an injury often means aggravation, which can prolong the current injury or even make it worse! As for feeling icky, we all have those days; I say let your body rest for a day or two so that it can use that extra energy to heal. As soon as I start to feel an improvement in my health, I’m in the gym trying to get as sweaty as possible! Blood flow and a lotta bit a sweat does the body and soul good!
When I’m feeling a tweak or sick, I prioritize nutrition. Our bodies will absorb those nutrients like a sponge when we’re fighting something on the inside, so provide yourself with that nourishment and fuel to get well soon! Plus, with lower activity, it’s wise to limit the overall carbohydrate intake for the day <- something I’ll even do occasionally on a rest day!
