Nutrition And Stretch
December 9th, 2009
Nutrition plays a key role on whether or not you would be running injury-free. Make sure that you always eat a vigorous meal and avoid any unbalanced diets; they would only slow down your healing process and make you more prone to injury. Be sure to get adequate protein (rebuilds muscle), carbohydrates (replenish muscle), vitamins/minerals (helps in recuperating), calcium (strengthens bones) and water (re-hydrates the body) everyday to get better properly and stay away from injuries as much as possible.
The very first thing you do just before you run in your Reebok treadmills is to stretch. Stretching decreases the risk of injuries by relaxing stretched muscles. Be sure you stretch for at least 10-15 minutes. Accentuate more on your thigh, hamstring, calf and lower back muscles for they’ll be strained out the most during your workout.
