- Once we know how you respond to exercise we will set you up with a HEP to do on your off days from rehab - goal: to get you exercising 5-7 days per week so to gain maximum aerobic benefits.
- Exercise Log – Record the correct information in each column and bring in once a week for me to look at. We can always change or tweak a program that may not be working out great for you. The important thing is for you to get your HR up and sustain it for a period of time so it counts for exercise…..washing dishes is not cardiovascular exercise. What are you currently doing at home?
- Dumbbells can be found at Job Lots or WalMart for a reasonable price Theraband/tubing can also be purchased and used for resistance ($0.75/foot in rehab) Resistance is different (harder) than dumbbells because of extra muscles that are used to stabilize the band. (Yellow – easy; Red – light med; Green – heavy med; Blue – light heavy; Gray – heavy) THESE CONTAIN LATEX Lying on side makes it harder (adding theraband increases resistance) By inserting sandbags or weights into pouches of ankle weights Calisthenics – (wall)squats, leg raises, toe raises, pushups, chair dips, etc.
- Activities outside are not necessarily “exercise” Refresh what actual “exercise” is…raising HR and keeping it there for time period. During hot conditions the body loses its ability to radiate heat from its surface . (Even in high humidity and mild heat…same effect – body can’t radiate heat from surface) When the air temperature exceeds body temperature (above 98 o F), the body actually gains heat from the environment . In this case, evaporation , or the conversion of a liquid (sweat) to a gas, becomes the body's only legitimate defense against overheating. Millions of sweat glands on the surface of the skin secrete large amounts of liquid, which when evaporated, help to cool the skin, which in turn cools the blood and ultimately the body. Serious problems can arise because high air temperatures stimulate excessively large amounts of sweat production, which if not replaced, can lead to a dehydrated state. Dehydration leads to higher body temperature. Severely dehydrated individuals can suffer circulatory collapse and death can occur. Wear light weight, loose-fitting, light colored clothing..change any saturated clothing since sweat can’t evaporate through damp clothing.
- Sweating depletes the body of salt and water, low salt levels cause painful cramps What to do: stop activity, sit quietly in cool place, drink clear juice or sports beverage, do not return to strenuous activity for a few hours otherwise further exertion may lead to heat exhaustion or stroke Medical attention if they do not subside after 1 hour
- What to do: if person has heart problems or high BP seek medical attention ASAP. otherwise help to cool the victim with cool beverages (not alcohol, or caffinated), rest, cool shower, bath, cool towels, and seek med attention if this lasts 1+ hours
- Example: you wouldn’t drive a car w/out oil, engine would seize. What are the best times to work outside? before 10am and after 5pm, out of the direct sunlight What to do: get victim to cool area, cool victim with whatever methods you can: immerse in tub of cool water, shower, spray with garden hose, sponge with water, wrap towel with cool water around (if humidity is low) Monitor body temp, and continue till temp drops to 101-102
- Scarf may be necessary to warm/moisten incoming air to help lessen the constriction Narrowing of Blood vessels also doesn’t allow as much blood to get to the exercising muscles = less oxygen Proper warm up and clothing is necessary for safe exercising!
- Explained next pay attention to vulnerable areas – fingers, toes, ears, nose. Frostbite – tissue will freeze then die – Skin looks white, waxy, stiff feeling. Soak affected area in warm water if this is the case and see a Doc. Continue to warm vulnerable areas by rubbing and moving them Warm, flexible muscles are less prone to injury and react quicker if you slide on ice And once warm – keep moving – muscle contractions generate heat Although less noticeable, sweating in cold weather can dehydrate you the same as in hot weather. Moisture intensifies the cold… Winter sports provide a great opportunity to exercise and have fun…ice skating, x-country/downhill skiing, snowshoeing Snow shoveling is a NO Hypothermia – dangerous drop in body temp. Can occur if you get wet or exercise so intensely that your muscles stop producing adequate heat. S/S drowsiness, shivering, stinging or burning skin, dizziness & slurred speech. Body temps lower than 60 degrees can result in death
- Clothing Dress in layers. Inner Layer-Polypropylene or other material designed to wick perspiration away Cotton is the worst material for inner layer b/c of its ability to absorb liquid, and holds it next to the skin Wicking- The process of pulling moisture away from the body Middle Layer-Cotton to absorb moisture and insulate Outer Layer-Nylon as windbreaker and for waterproofing Goal – to keep inner/middle layers performing the wicking and insulating duties If exercising outside do not cool off the body by removing clothing rapidly… Let body temp and metabolism decrease naturally
- If you can afford it –gym membership Lower cost alternatives – mall walking…grocery stores… make sure you are keeping the HR up Exercise videos purchase or rent videos, library might be a good place to look, borrow or trade with friends Stay at home…run in place, step-ups on stairs
- A. Something you will use, that will not end up as an expensive clothes rack
- 1 – the fancy features that people are drawn to usually go unused…so spend your money wisely 2 - Sturdy construction/smooth operation are what matter most, good deck cushion and stability are key factors 3 – treadmills are popular but don’t overlook the other pieces…ellipticals, bikes, rowering machines provide just as good of a workout….its about what you will use 4 – a good strategy is to spend most of your budget on one solid aerobic training piece, then build around it with inexpensive strength training equipment (tubing/dumbbells) 6 – anything feels okay for the first 5 minutes or so but how will it feel once you’ve been on it for a solid 20-30 minutes…try it out.
- The extra warranty is probably worth it, since decks and cushions need replacing, make sure to see if they send someone out to fix it since getting it back to the store for repair will make for a difficult time.
