Do you have low energy?

June 24, 2017 By Bryan Kreitlow

Low energy

What can you do about low energy levels?

I know we all have those days where we wake up and feel like we don’t have the energy to take on the day.  Life is busy and sometimes fatiguing.  However, low energy shouldn’t be a regular problem.  You may have a constant struggle to get going in the morning, or feel the need for that big cup of coffee before you can even say “hello”.  Maybe you find yourself struggling to get through the work day, or your losing focus on tasks that need to be completed.  If this sounds like you, then it’s time to make changes to improve your energy levels.

Injury Prevention for Weekend Warriors

May 11, 2017 By Bryan Kreitlow

If you’re a weekend warrior, you need to know about injury prevention

Weekend Warrior Injury Prevention

The key to successful exercise is injury prevention.  Do you work way too many hours during the week?  Life often gets so busy that exercise gets put on the back burner.  You try to make up for a week’s worth of inactivity in one or two days on the weekend.  Thus, you become a weekend warrior.  Your intentions are good.  Getting exercise during the weekend is certainly a positive since exercising even 1-2 times per week can help reduce your risk of heart disease and heart attacks.

HOWEVER,

This sudden burst of activity after sitting in front of a computer all week can trigger musculoskeletal injury or strain. This will keep you from exercising at all!  You become more susceptible to injury because the level of physical activity required to participate in recreation is not maintained during the week.
