Weekend Warriors The impulse to get outside, engage in a sport or push through limitations on weekends can lead to injury if exercising is not also part of the work week. “Do something on weekdays to support your weekend activity to prepare and strengthen your body specifically for
it,” says Lebo. “For recreational athletes, I recommend performing some type of strength training to support the demands and movement patterns of your activity. For tendinitis or inflammation of the tendons—the most common type of repetitive injury— exercise can reverse or minimize injury

Our body tells us when something is wrong or needs to change (if we listen). The urge to wiggle, move or stop while doing an activity is a cue to do something different to prevent the strain from building toward injury.

following appropriate rest, together with physical therapy when indicated.” Basic strength training, maintaining
a healthy weight and staying hydrated all help prevent injury and decrease the risk of reoccurrence.“Repetitive injuries that I see oſt en are iliotibial band syndrome, patellofemoral syndrome, lower back pain and rotator cuff injuries. T e main cause of these is overuse, faulty alignment and muscle compensation,” says Brooke Taylor, a functional training expert and owner of Taylored Fitness NY Ltd., in New York City. “Functional training engages the
body in multiplanar movements that sim- ulate everyday motions. T is forces the body to work as one unit, as opposed to isolating various body parts. T e beauty is that with a well-designed program, you leave no muscle untouched. Functional training is benefi cial for everyone, and one hour of training a day can make a huge diff erence. Get out and explore diff erent activities and work opposing muscles. Make all parts of the body work as one,” counsels Taylor. Whether injuries occur at the desk,
on the soccer fi eld or not at all, keeping the body fi t is key. Mares reminds us that exercise is like sleep—something we all need and cannot avoid, saying, “Exercise is the great equalizer in life.”
