Cold Weather and Timing- December 2017

This one is about timing. As the winter season comes, there are a lot of things that you have to think about. You’ve got ice on the ground, ice on the car, and being just cold outside. A big thing that you can do is give yourself the time you need to do those things. Just like with any other exercise, cold muscles are likely to get hurt, same thing with cold weather. Try to work into activities slowly. Don’t just go running around quickly. One, you may slip and fall, which brings in another problem. Two, your muscles are more likely to get hurt if you are doing a lot of work in the cold weather right away. Take it easy to start with, ease into things like you would any other activity. That’s what I’ve got for you today. Thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time.

What is tissue tolerance?

The easy answer for what tissue tolerance is would be how much activity your body can handle before it breaks down. Every day we do activity, or even inactivity for some tissues (do not think that is your only way out of this), there is breaking down of our tissues in body (muscles, ligaments, etc.).
