Olympic games 2024

Who has been motivated, captivated and inspired by the Olympic Games recently?

Does it make you want to take up a new sport or go back to a sport you used to do?

I for sure have been captivated by the camaraderie and togetherness of the athletes.

I know I haven’t done enough activity lately but seeing all the sport on TV has made me want to do more.

If you decide to take up a new sport or go back to one that you haven’t done in a while there are some key things to remember;

1 - Warm up properly, increase the blood supply to your muscles and joints before hand, this can help reduce injury.

2 - Go to an organised club, get taught the proper techniques. Don’t rush back to the same level you were at before, you need to build your body back up gradually - this helps to prevent injuries.

3 - Don’t do too much too fast, gradually increase your efforts and you will see the rewards.

4 - Cool down, this is as important if not more so than warming up, take care of your body and it will take care of you.

5 - Rest, that’s right, rest days are as important as active days, this allows your body to recover from the activity.
