Greetings!
We're your local resource for tips, tricks, information, and great products. Here are a few of our favorite tips for exercise injury prevention:- Gradually increase Time and Intensity: When starting an exercise program, many people have lots of enthusiasm initially, and go too hard, too soon. Begin with moderate exercises of about 20 mins, 3 times a week and gradually build upon this.
- Don't Workout on Empty: While you don't want to exercise immediately after eating a large meal, eating about 2 hours before exercise can fuel your exercise and help you avoid getting dizzy.
- Drink Before you Exercise: Dehydration can kill your performance, so stay well hydrated. Try to drink 16 oz. of water in the two hours before your workout and then take in water during your workout to replace any lost fluids.
- Listen to Your Body: If you experience any sharp pain, weakness or light-headedness during exercise, pay attention. This is your body's signal that something is wrong and you should stop exercise. Pushing through acute pain in the fastest way to develop a severe or chronic injury. If you don't feel well, you should take some time off until your body heals.
Got Questions? Call us, hop on FB, or stop in. We love to 'talk shop'. Hope to see you on the road,
Cheers!
Jeremy, Leah, and Lucy

Tri Apparel, Compression, and Accessories
  APPAREL: Sleek, high tech apparel provides a breathable fast-drying option for your multisport needs. UV Protection and four-way stretch are only a few of the features Zoot product offers.
