When you’re working out, there doesn’t tend to be much thought to the aftermath of it all if things go wrong. However, there needs to be a consideration of just what could go awry when you are exerting yourself - and, just a heads up, it’s a lot. The most common ailments are things that are often overlooked, yet need the most time and dedication putting towards them to stop them developing into bigger things which could put you off training for the foreseeable future. But what are they?
Pulled Muscles
Before any form of exercise that you are undertaking, you must warm up. This gives your muscles a chance to slowly get into action and loosen your joints ready for mobilisation. When you pull a muscle, you are essentially putting it under a strain that it hasn’t prepared itself for. You don’t even have to be doing exercise to do it, but the one thing in common with those working out and those who aren’t who have done it is that it really hurts. Every time you contract the same muscle that you have pulled, you will feel a pain. It can lead on to a muscle rupture or could be something a lot more serious, so it’s worth getting checked out and waiting until it’s fully recovered until you start exercising again.
Blisters and Burns
There are so many places that you can get blisters in from exercising, and for so many different reasons; your hands from weights, your heels from running, your palms from biking. There are 3 places to keep first aid cabinets in your home that are recommended, including your garage; if you have your equipment within there then make sure you have all of the first aid items to take away the pain from these common ailments. The last thing that you want is to be working out and have something get in your way. A lot of things such as blisters can be easily combatted by not wearing the same shoes for a while or switching up your routine so you take away the pressure from the affected area. If this isn’t possible then raid your first aid box for anything which can ease the discomfort and provide relief but get checked out if it starts to get infected.
