You just started exercising and you felt great, so you dramatically increased the intensity and duration of your workout. While doing that you felt a dull pain. Over the next few days the pain recurred intermittently, but it wasn’t bad enough to interfere with your exercise. So, you pushed on, ignoring the pain. As time passed, the pain got to the point where you felt the pain during and after your exercise as well.

This is an example of an overuse injury, specifically tendinitis, which is one of the most common sports related injuries. Now, in previous shows I covered other types of sports injuries, such as muscle soreness and cramps (show 40) and sprains and strains (show 44). But in this show I am going to talk about tendinitis. I’ll tell you what it is, who is at risk, ways to prevent it and what to do if you get it.

Some references I used while researching this show are the New Wellness Encyclopedia, Orthopedic Physical Assessment and emedicinehealth.com.

Back on show #40, I talked about ways to minimize or avoid muscle soreness and muscle cramps during exercise. For those that didn’t hear that show, those are aches and pains that while painful, do not involve injury.

In this show, I am going to cover exercise related injuries. Specifically, I am going to discuss strains and sprains. I will go over what they are, who is at risk for getting them, what to do when you get them and of course ways to avoid them.

Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia, Mayo Clinic and ahealthyme.com.

I also answered Michele Ford’s question regarding the safety of Stevia. The primary reference used while researching this question was the Mayo Clinic.

BH4BP #14 – Exercise Motivation and Injury Prevention

Talli van Sunder — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:00:09 +0000

Why is it so hard for many of us to get motivated to exercise? In this week’s show, I explore that question in great depth. I discuss what motivation is, how attitude plays a role and what you can do to achieve a successful long-term exercise program.

Next, I move on to talking about the importance of preventing injuries when exercising. I give eight tips that will help protect or reduce your chances of getting injured. Even veteran exercisers can get injured when they forget to follow these general guidelines.

I end the show with a question from Kimberly regarding ways to get rid of love handles.
