Statistically, most injuries happen at the beginning or end of; a season, a game, a movement.
Treat this stage of sporting overlap wit grace and make sure to prioritize efficient warm-ups, rest and recovery. When we go to crazy with the reps too early in the year the body doesnāt have a chance to adapt to the extra movement. This is true even if youāve been working out all summer. Itās still a new movement that needs to be introduced slowly.
Tips:
ā¢Warmup well
ā¢Focus the 1st few times on the ice on quality over quantity of reps
ā¢Prioritize rest (sleep), nutrition and hydration (curling clubs are typically dry & we donāt see our sweat so itās easy to dehydrate you)
ā¢Donāt be afraid to lower the volume at the gym as you both adjust to curling again and finish up your summer activities.
ā¢Listen to your body!
