The common exercise mistakes you're probably making
"Seven of the ten most common chronic diseases are favorably influenced by regular physical activity," the US Department of Health and Human Services says in its latest report on physical activity. Let's pause there and just consider just how essential exercise is for optimal health and disease prevention.
Yet nearly 80% of Americans don't meet the agency's weekly recommendations: 150 to 300 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous exercise. In addition to either of those, it is recommended that you do two or more days of muscle-strengthening exercises involving all of the major muscle groups: legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms.
"The risk of injury to bones, muscles and joints is directly related to the gap between a person's usual level of activity and a new level of activity," the college explains in its official position paper on prescribing exercise. For strength training, adequate rest between sessions is also important to allow optimal muscle development. Personal trainer and gym owner Ami Jampolis also notes that a lot of injuries occur due to inadequate or improper warmup and cool-down.
