Learn how to prevent injuries, stay active while recovering, and maintain strength long after healing. Tips for fitness enthusiasts, laborers, and desk workers alike.
Whether you’re hitting the gym, working construction, or sitting at a desk all day, the risk of injury is real—and recovery isn’t always as simple as rest. In this episode of the Breathe CrossFit Podcast, Toni shares the most important things you can do to reduce your risk of injury and bounce back stronger if one happens.
Key Tips Covered in the Episode:
- Prevention starts with strength training. Stronger muscles protect your body and reduce your risk of tears and strains.
- Mobility and recovery matter. Stretching, warming up properly, and maintaining joint health are crucial, especially with repetitive movement.
- Nutrition is non-negotiable. Protein intake helps repair and build muscle; hydration keeps tissues functioning.
- Rest smart. Sleep hygiene impacts everything from recovery to decision-making.
- Movement promotes healing. If you’re injured, don’t stop moving. There’s always something you can do—even in a wheelchair.
- Stick with your rehab. “Just because your injury is gone doesn’t mean you need to stop doing the thing that got you pain free.”
