Winter is right at our doorstep and it is going to bring along those days of extremely tight muscles and unending .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not a LOT changes between working out in summers and in the winter, there are a couple of things that need to be looked at to prevent injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 4 things you need to pay attention to while working out during winters:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Winter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Warm-Up Seriously Before A Workout<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Not that you didn’t know this already but not everyone warms-up seriously.  While in summers the body’s already warm and ready to kick it, in winters, it just isn’t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An explosive dynamic warm-up is a great tool here. Pick a couple of body weight exercises and do a small 3-5 minute circuit. If your gym has a rowing machine, even better! Hop on and go balls out for 1-2 minutes at full throttle. Break a sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Do Dynamic Warm-Ups. Don’t Bother With Static Warm Ups.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic warm-ups involve moving explosively for a couple of minutes and static stretching is nothing but standing at a place and stretching. Now, here’s where people get it all wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A static warm-up should be done after the workout because the body is already warm and muscle tissues have more elasticity.  A dynamic one should be done right before starting a workout, simply because it warms you up and gets you ready. Doing static stretching without doing a proper dynamic warm-up can cause injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Winter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Drink Your Damn Water!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For obvious reasons, hydration takes a steep dip during winters. We just don’t feel thirsty. This doesn’t, in all cases, mean that we don’t need more water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once in a rigorous workout, during winter, you will realize how dehydrated you actually are. Keep a strict check on how much water you are drinking throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Supplement With Curcumin And Citrulline Malate To Deal With Post-Workout Muscle Soreness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Soreness can cause twice as much as pain during winters. Curcumin (haldi)<\/a> has shown to help with delayed onset muscle soreness in many pieces of research. It’s also a very potent anti-inflammatory agent. You can also look at CM that has recently hit the headlines for being helpful for soreness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
