When life happens in ways that make us feel less than secure, stress is the normal reaction. Stress is the underlying cause of many of our medical conditions, not to mention psychological conditions. Allowing stress level to build can have serious long term effects along with a lessened quality of life.
Often, the first treatment prescribed for stress is some form of medication to reduce the symptoms of stress. Not always is medication effective, and many balk at the idea of the potential side effects.
Those not wanting to go the allopathic way with prescription medication will, with a little research, be able to find many natural and effective ways of not only reducing the stress, but also learning alternative ways of reacting to the situations causing the stress.
Taking a long walk to clear your head is one of the best ways to alleviate stress. Walking is an excellent form of exercise for your body as well as your mind. You can walk out your frustration so that you’ll be able to come back refreshed and tackle your problems again.
Make the routines fun and not monotonous and never insist on forcing youngsters to carry out an exercise they cant handle. Start with free standing and flexibility training , and concentrate on sporting skills which require team work. Don’t forget as expressed in part 1 that all weight training exercises should be light to medium, avoiding spine bending activities such as heavy low squats and other dangerous exercises such as dead lifts.
Weight training can cause spinal injuries, so a lifting belt should be worn at all times. I would recommend exercises such as light barbell squat to parallel and presses behind the neck to start off with. The bar should always be padded and never bounce the barbell on the spine area at the back of the neck. Bench presses are also an important exercise, but always under the watchful eye of a spotter as it has been known for bars to drop on lifters necks causing death, so NEVER carry out Bench presses alone.
Try out dumbbell exercises making sure the collar is secure and have a go at lying triceps stretches for the arms and standing lateral raises for shoulders. Encourage high repetitions for fitness, especially while performing sit ups for abs and stick to the crunches version, keeping the knees bent. Avoid infections such as athletes foot by good hygiene and always train in clean clothing and footwear.
RECOMMENDED TRAINING FOR THE OVER 14s On reaching the age of 14, supervised weight training can begin. The majority of weight exercises can be carried out with the exception of heavy dead lifts and barbell rowing, which can be harmful to the lower back. Heavy squats can also cause knees problems and hip problems can also develop in later life.
