AirLumba Recharge Your Back!
Updated: Oct 11, 2023
The increasing trend in the New Normal Lifestyle involves participating in online exercise classes. However, many individuals frequently face diverse injuries like knee pain, back pain, neck pain, etc. These problems arise due to variations in individuals' body strength and flexibility, and the difficulty levels in different exercise programs. Even with guidance from trainers on diet and nutrition, there's uncertainty during exercise about whether the postures we've been doing match our muscle strength or if we're performing them correctly. We might strain excessively or lack flexibility. Additionally, there might be challenges in ensuring we receive adequate sleep, energy, and nutrition to support our exercise routines.
Today, Airlumba introduces six techniques to encourage home workouts, promoting better health and minimizing the risk of injuries.
1.Selecting Safe Workout routine but Strong Result:
Choose workout videos or exercises that don't cause excessive strain on our bodies but gradually increase fatigue and difficulty, especially during the first few weeks. For people experiencing issues like knee or foot pain, should go for Low-Impact exercise programs or exercises with minimal impact. Avoid jumping or running and focus on extensive muscle stretching. Also, avoid positions that involve sitting or kneeling with extreme bends. Pay attention to our body posture and select exercises that don't cause excessive discomfort.
For individuals dealing with back pain, emphasize stretching the back muscles. Gradually increase exercise intensity to enhance the strength and flexibility of Core Muscles, helping these muscles support the spine and improve the cushioning provided by supportive pillows.
In summary, recurring pain or fatigue in specific body parts indicates muscle stiffness, poor blood circulation, lack of flexibility, or inadequate strength, hindering our daily activities. It's crucial to regularly care for and stretch these specific muscle areas and the surrounding regions consistently.
2. Prepare your body before exercising; avoid skipping meals
It's essential to provide your body with adequate energy to maintain a balanced blood sugar level, ensuring efficient physical performance. Also, make sure to get enough rest and sleep.
Fasting can lower the body's metabolism, meaning individuals who fast use less energy for breathing. In simple terms, people who fast tend to gain weight more easily when they return to regular eating habits because their energy expenditure decreases. The best approach is to combine regular exercise with controlling your food intake appropriately. Active lifestyles and physical activities increase the body's metabolic rate. Remember this vital equation: Energy In vs. Energy Out.
3.Ensure the exercises space is properly ventilated and secure
Ensure the exercise space is properly ventilated and secure.
Adequate oxygen is vital for the body's energy metabolism during physical activity. Inadequate oxygen supply to the brain can result in dizziness, fainting, or disorientation. Also, using appropriate exercise mats, absorbent towels, and suitable sports shoes can improve safety during workouts. It's crucial to remove sweat from the exercise area to prevent slipping and injuries.
4. Prepare clean water to keep yourself hydrated and to replace the fluids lost throughout sweating
Have a supply of fresh and clean water to keep yourself hydrated while exercising and to replace the fluids lost through sweating.
It's essential to steer clear of specific beverages during physical activities, such as fizzy drinks and alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer, as they can present severe risks to your body, potentially leading to fatal outcomes. Instances of foreign tourists in Thailand losing their lives after consuming ripe bananas and beer while swimming underline the need for carefulness during exercise.
5. Reduce injury risk with proper body warm-up, cool-down and muscle stretching
It's essential to stretch every part of the body adequately, particularly the muscles heavily used during workouts, to reduce stiffness and increase flexibility. Stiff or tense muscles hinder physical activity and can lead to injuries, especially during repetitive or rapid movements.
The strength and flexibility of our body muscles are vital for our daily activities. Weak or tense muscles, unprepared for movement or weight-bearing, can easily lead to injuries. Recovery from such injuries can take months or even years, which is not worth the risk compared to the split-second injury occurrence.
Additionally, individuals with low vitamin D levels are prone to weaker muscles and easier injuries. Engaging in gentle exercise under the morning sunlight, especially before 7:00 AM, is another intriguing aspect of a healthy lifestyle. This period ensures the body receives beneficial vitamin D, contributing significantly to overall health
6. For effective workouts, muscle engagement is key, especially in areas like the neck, lower back (waist) and joints like knees, elbows, wrists and ankles
Beginners can use AirLumba Enlight or support pads to distribute weight, prevent pressure, and maintain space in neck and lower back areas, avoiding muscle strain during exercise. These aids are particularly helpful during floor exercises like sit-ups, knee push-ups, planking, and more."
