TALKBACK |
Coaching
Carmilla
 Thanks so much for
the competition prize. I thoroughly enjoyed my two
tennis lessons with Mat from Dreamachievers
Tennis Academy. He was such a great
coach that I'm pretty sure I'll be joining the
group classes he runs in Melbourne. Now all I have
to do is find a tennis partner on your site. If
only improving my tennis game was that
easy!

& FITNESS TIPS |
7 steps to preventing
injury
1. Begin any new type of
exercise gradually. Never
increase the length or intensity of your workouts
by more than 5% from one week to the
next.
2. Change your shoes
regularly, every 3 to 6 months depending
on frequency of use.
3. If you feel any
tingling, aching or soreness in a joint, muscle or
tendon - either during or after a workout - stop
that activity until signs of discomfort are gone.
Avoid the temptation to 'work through'
joint or tendon pain.
4. If you're
suffering from mild muscular or joint pain that
does not subside, seek the advice of a
health professional (Physiotherapist,
Chiropractor or Osteopath) sooner rather than
later. You can save yourself a lot of time out of
action.
5. Ensure correct technique
and posture during exercise at all times.
Seek the advice of a fitness
professional.
6. Regular strength
training will help to strengthen and
improve the integrity of muscles and joints,
protecting them against injury, particularly
spinal injuries.
7. Warm up and
cool down properly. When warming up:
progress the activity slowly from a gentle
movement to the maximum session intensity. When
cooling down: slowly progress the exercise(s) from
the maximum session intensity to a gentle movement
over about a 5-minute period.

15 days!
