Your Health & Chiropractic
Thinking of improving your fitness – remember to keep your back strong too!
The start of the New Year is a great time to focus on improved health and fitness. You might be considering joining the gym in January or using your gym more. Maybe you’ll be buying some new trainers and hitting the streets and parks or is this the year you’ll be entering your 1st marathon?
Whatever your health goals are, please remember that chiropractic can help keep your core stability muscles strong and healthy. Regular adjustments can help remove nerve irritation that lead to imbalance in the core. Exercise specialists agree that core stability is vital for strength, coordination and balance. A common route of muscles injury is weak and unstable core muscles.
In conjunction with chiropractic adjustments we recommend that you try core stability training with the fitness team at your gym.
Remember Kids can suffer from weak core muscles too. The abdominal muscles and back muscles are used far less when sitting or lounging – the postures that gaming machines and school study put us in.
Parents can get their hands on some great exercise advice for kids by visiting www.live-well.org.uk and download the specialist back care exercises developed by spinal health experts including chiropractors.
For advice and help with starting your new exercise regime this year please speak with your chiropractor. If you are looking to join a new gym then ask us about the discounts our patients receive locally.
The World of Health & Wellness
Setting SMARTER New Year’s Resolutions in 2009.
New Year’s Resolutions are goals that we set that have the intention to improve something about ourselves. But how SMART will your resolutions / goals be this year? Simply put, a SMART goal is something we can say is;
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Rewarding, Timed
Your goals should also be enjoyable!
Your goals should permeate different parts of your life, easily remembered as; Family, Friends, Finances, Fitness and Fun.
A SMART Fun goal could be;
I will learn to scuba dive on our summer holiday in 2009 and achieve a PADI certificate.
A SMART Fitness goal could be;
I will compete in the London Marathon in 2009 for a children’s charity and I aim to raise £3000 and finish in a time of less than 41/2 hours.
A SMART Family goal could be;
I will make sure that I spend 4 hours each week helping my children with their homework so that they improve their average grade by at least one level in two subjects by the summer in 2009.
Once you have worked out your goals you need to remind yourself of them daily. Write them out, tell your family (they can support you), put them on the fridge, put them on your PC as a screen saver, put them in your diary, tell your Chiropractor!…in short put your goals wherever you can see them several times each day. And finally…know what you are getting. There has to be a really beneficial reason for achieving your goals. The pleasure of achieving the goal has to be far greater than the pain of the effort in striving towards it.
