Seahawks' Medical Professionals Offer Their Leading Six Health Fitness Strategies for Autumn
Autumn is a crunchy time, y'all! And for our bros, Jonathan Drezner, M.D. and Ashwin Rao, M.D, it's all about keeping those Seattle Seahawks limber and ready for action. But hey, even me and my couch-potato buddies can learn a thing or two from these pro-athlete docs about staying fit during the fall months. Here's the inside scoop on how to stay active and healthy, like a Seahawk!
Get Ready to Move!
Gimme a 'hell yeah!' 'Cause whatever you do, just keep movin'! Rao encourages us to stay active during the cooler months, even if it's just a wee bit. Remember, people, the months are gettin' shorter, and it's important to maintain your bod and mind as we transition from summer vibes.
Take It Slow and Easy
If you're gearing up for an autumn race, like the Seattle Marathon, remember the tortoise and hare story, buddy! Drezner advises that we gotta gradually pick up the pace to avoid pesky injuries. So don't push yourself too hard too fast, alright? Avoid burnout and stay in the game!
Have a Plan B for Bad Weather
Listen up, folks. 'Cause let's face it: The weather in the Pacific Northwest ain't always sunshine and rainbows. But hey, don't let a little rain or chill get you down! Make sure you got backup plans that'll help you keep movin' and groovin' indoors. And no, stealing your buddy's Netflix account doesn't count!
Watch Your Back on Two Wheels
Bike riding can be a fantastic way to enjoy the fall colors, but be cautious, pal! The roads get slippery during those rainy days, and motorists might have a hard time spotting you. Wear a helmet, keep it low and slow, and don't forget to slap on some reflective gear. Safety first, my friend!
Mix It Up, Mix It Up!
Just like our Seahawks, variety is the spice of life! Drezner recommends mixin' up your workouts to prevent boredom and keep your fitness fires burnin'. So shake things up, pal! Try new things, or even take a break from your usual routine for a different activity you might enjoy.
Take Care of Your Whole Self, Really!
You knew this was comin', right? Our Seahawks have a secret weapon: Mindfulness. Yes, really! The team places a focus on holistic health and well-being, and it's payin' off in spades during games. So why not grab some of that sweet Seahawk-magic for yourself? Set achievable goals, surround yourself with support, and wipe away any negative vibes to stay motivated, strong, and focused!
So, there you have it! Getting fit during the fall doesn't have to be a chore, my friends. Be a pro like our boys in blue and keep your game strong, no matter what the weather's doin'. You got this!
