Excersise

When you start out to exercise:

1. Find a regular time that can be undisturbed for 40 minutes, and devote this time to your program.
2. Don't exercise in the middle of the day in higher temperatures.
3. Have a glass of water 30 minutes before you exercise.
4. If you haven't exercised regularly (a minimum of three times per week) for the last two months it usually takes two to four weeks for your body to start to adjust.
5. Take it easy for the first four weeks, and you can avoid pain, fatigue and soreness.

If you aren't feeling particularly fit to start off with, you don't need to a do a lot of work to achieve a big increase in fitness levels. There should never be any feelings of soreness or fatigue after exercise. Do a little bit of exercise every day for a minimum of 20 minutes. Prepare your body by doing a proper warm up and thank it by giving it a thorough warm down and stretch. Look after your body, it has to last a lifetime.

You shouldn't find the exercises hard, the hard part is maintaining a regular exercise pattern. Set yourself the goal of not missing one session over 12 weeks. If you do miss a session, pick up the program where you left off. If you miss two sessions in a row, go back to the previous week's sessions. Exercise is the easiest way of improving the quality of your life.

For any treatment plan to be successful, it's important that the patient perform the various therapeutic exercises and stretches which the chiropractor has formulated for them to do. These help expedite the healing process and increase flexibility and mobility.
