Overexertion in exercise is harmful 😱😱 Save your joints...

🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

When overweight, do not overexert yourself while running, and only engage in aerobic exercise.

I guess I should also do strength training along with it~

While engaging in suitable exercise for yourself, never overexert yourself.

Please don't.🙏

The joints you use throughout your life should be preserved to stay healthy and functional for a long time. Exercising excessively can wear out your joints, and as you age, degeneration and aging processes can lead to arthritis. Joint damage can be caused not only by aging but also by incorrect exercise habits that harm the joints. Once a joint is damaged, it is difficult to recover, and it can lead to arthritis. Therefore, prevention before damage occurs is the best approach. Here are some incorrect exercise habits to avoid for joint health.

 

◆ Do not do stretching that increases flexibility

 

When strength and flexibility are balanced harmoniously, it is advantageous for maintaining joint health. This is why it becomes increasingly important to focus on developing flexibility as we age. As we get older, our bodies become stiffer, and the range of joint motion decreases, making exercises to improve flexibility essential. To achieve this, it is recommended to stretch regularly whenever you have free time.

 

Exercising excessively due to being overweight

 

Running causes the knee joints to bear 7 to 9 times the body's weight. While a healthy body can handle this weight, being overweight or obese increases the risk of osteoarthritis. In other words, weight gain puts tremendous stress on the joints. Overweight individuals are 40% more likely to undergo knee surgery than those with normal weight. To maintain healthy joints, it is essential to first lose excess weight.

 

Only do aerobic exercise, do not do strength training

 

Many joint patients actually have better cardiovascular health. This is because they focus only on running and have an imbalance between aerobic exercise and strength training. If this situation persists, it can lead to arthritis and become chronic. Additionally, in aerobic exercise, one should alternate between sprinting at full effort and jogging slowly for extended periods. This is because different muscle groups are used depending on the running style. After sprinting, it is necessary to alternate with slow running for 1-2 days to allow muscles to recover, and to switch running styles accordingly.

 

Doing yoga excessively or forcefully

 

Intense aerobic exercises such as high-intensity interval training or running are not the only causes of joint damage. Yoga and Pilates are exercises that help build strength and flexibility, but when performing movements beyond one's capacity, they can actually cause joint injuries. Excessive yoga poses can lead to osteophyte formation, abnormal growths on bone tissue, which may result in arthritis, so caution is necessary.
