… “recreational” hockey hurts.

February 2nd, 2010 | Categories: Illness & Injury | No Comments »

I would often see them at the office on Monday morning.  Sometimes limping because of a pulled groin muscle. Sometimes unable to lift a coffee cup because of a bum shoulder. Or easing into a board room chair because of sore glutes.

Ah – the plight of the Weekend Warrior!  Usually, the “I could’a been a Canuck, you know” guy from Finance.

Vigorous exercise done only occasionally – particularly for the “mature” man or woman – often results in torn or strained joints and muscles, and doesn’t do much to improve your sports performance either.

Had they known that engaging in regular strength-building exercise allows connective tissue, a.k.a. tendons and ligaments, to strengthen progressively. (ligaments = bone to bone / tendons = muscle to bone).

Cardio-vascular endurance also increases progressively through regular exercise. No more gasping for oxygen on the field or in the gym.

Simply put: Regular workouts always lead to better health benefits.

Now you know.
