Heather: SOME
GYMS ACROSS
THE STATE ARE BACK OPEN UNDER
THE STAY SAFE FOUR GUIDELINES.
THAT MEANS REDUCED CAPACITY,
LEAVING PEOPLE TO LOOK FOR
ALTERNATE WAYS TO GET IN A
WORKOUT.
HERE GETTING US MOVING IN ANY
LOCATION IS TODAY'S SPONSOR,
CARLE SPORTS MEDICINE.
WE HAVE NICK, CERTIFIED ATHLETIC
TRAINER HERE WITH TIPS FOR AT
HOME OR OUTDOOR WORKOUTS.
WELCOME.
Guest: THANK YOU FOR HAVING
ME.
Heather: PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE
BEEN STAGNANT ON THEIR WORKOUTS
THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS,
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET BACK
INTO THAT WORKOUT ROUTINE?
Guest: I THINK THE BEST WAY
IS START SLOWLY.
KIND OF LEAVE YOUR EGO AT THE
DOOR.
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO BE IN THE SAME SPOT YOU WERE
WHEN COVID FIRST STARTED.
SO STARTING AT HOME BY DOING
SOME AT-HOMEWORK OUTS.
NOT GOING TO THE VOLUME YOU
MIGHT HAVE BEEN AT A FEW MONTHS
AGO.
AND CONTINUING TO BUILD UP FROM
THERE.
NOT OVERDOING IT OFF THE BAT.
JUST BUILDING UP SLOW AND
STEADY.
Heather: THERE YOU GO.
AND OVERUSE INJURIES CAN OCCUR,
I HEAR?
Guest: YES, THEY CAN.
THAT'S WHAT YOU TEND TO SEE US
FOR, BUT HOPEFULLY, THAT'S NOT
THE CASE.
Heather: LET'S TALK ABOUT
WHAT YOU DO AT CARLE.
IF PEOPLE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE
GOING BACK TO A FULL-SERVICE
GYM, YOU'VE GOT IDEAS ON
EXERCISES THEY CAN DO AT HOME.
Guest: SURE.
SO IF YOU'RE AT HOME AND DON'T
WANT TO GO TO A GYM, YOUR BODY
WEIGHT CAN BE A GREAT WAY TO GET
WORKOUTS IN AS WELL.
YOU CAN USE THINGS LIKE
RESISTANCE BANDS IF YOU NEED TO.
BUT IF NOT, YOU CAN SIMPLY DO
PUSH-UPS, SQUATS, LUNGS, AND
EVEN DOING STRETCHING AT HOME
CAN HELP YOU QUITE A BIT.
IF YOU'RE A RUNNER, YOU CAN GET
OUTRUN, WALK, BIKE, DO THOSE
THINGS AS WELL AS YOU'RE
MAINTAINING A SOCIAL DISTANCE
WITH OTHERS.
Heather: YEAH.
YOU'RE A CERTIFIED PERSONAL
TRAINER AT CARLE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT BENEFITS OF
USING SKILLS SUCH AS YOURS.
Guest: YEAH, I THINK THE
BIGGEST THING IS, YOU GET SOME
EDUCATION FROM SOMEONE WHEN YOU
COME IN AND WORK WITH US.
YOU ALSO GET THAT ACCOUNTABILITY
ASPECT AND MOTIVATION FACTOR IF
YOU ARE LACKING THAT AT HOME.
YOU CAN COME IN AND SEE US, AND
YOU CAN HAVE SOMEONE PUSH YOU IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND GET YOU
MOVING AND DOING THE THINGS YOU
WANT TO DO.
WITH ALL OF OUR PLANS, IT'S ALL
GOING TO BE ONE-ON-ONE
PERSONALIZED CARE THAT IS GOING
TO BE MADE FOR YOU AND YOUR
GOALS.
IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO BE A
COOKIE-CUTTER APPROACH.
Heather: BEING IN SPORTS
MEDICINE, I'M GUESSING YOU SEE A
LOT OF ATHLETES.
Guest: SURE.
Heather: WHO ARE THE IDEAL
ATHLETES THAT VISIT YOU?
Guest: FOR OUR FACILITY WE
SEE QUITE A FEW MIDDLE SCHOOL
AND HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES.
BUT ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE
ACTIVE, GET MOVING CAN COME AND
SEE US.
WE SEE EVERYONE FROM YOUR 5K AND
MARATHON RUNNERS TO OLDER,
RETIRED PATIENTS, ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH
SCHOOL ATHLETES.
THERE REALLY IS NO BOX THAT YOU
HAVE TO FIT INTO TO COME SEE US.
WE'LL SEE ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO
BE ACTIVE.
Heather: I LIKE HOW YOU
MENTION ON THE SCREEN, IT'S NOT
ALWAYS PERFORMANCE-BASED.
Guest: THAT'S RIGHT.
Heather: LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE CARLE SPORTS MEDICINE.
BECAUSE THERE, YOU DO OFFER
ONE-ON-ONE PERSONAL TRAINING
LIKE YOU MENTIONED.
PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT, WHAT
DOES THAT MEAN?
Guest: FOR US, THAT'S WHEN
WE SEE MOSTLY OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL
AND HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES FOR
SPEED TRAINING, POWER TRAINING
AND ANY SPORTS-SPECIFIC
TRAINING, THROWING, RUNNING,
JUMPING.
THESE ARE A LOT OF OUR CLASSES
THAT ALLOW THOSE ATHLETES TO GET
BETTER AT WHATEVER SPORT THEY'RE
WORKING ON AT THAT TIME.
Heather: AND I'M SURE A LOT
OF ATHLETES ARE READY TO GET
BACK INTO SPORTS.
Guest: YEP.
Heather: AND TO BE ACTIVE
AGAIN.
WE'RE ABOUT OUT OF TIME, BUT I
QUICKLY WANT TO MENTION, YOU
HAVE A FREE INJURY EVALUATION
CLINIC.
MY DAUGHTER HAS BENEFITED FROM
THAT, HURTING HER KNEE AT TRACK
PRACTICE.
TALK ABOUT HOW THAT WORKS.
Guest: THE INJURY CLINIC IS
OPEN TO ANY AGE 6:30 TO 8:30 IN
THE MORNING MONDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY, YOU CAN COME AND SEE US.
WE'LL DO A QUICK EVALUATION WITH
YOU AND SET YOU UP WITH A HOME
EXERCISE PROGRAM, GIVE YOU TIPS
GOING FORWARD, OR GET YOU SET UP
WITH ONE OF OUR DOCTORS IF WE
FEEL THAT'S NECESSARY.
Heather: YEAH.
GOOD NEWS, YOU'RE BACK OPEN NOW.
THAT'S FANTASTIC.
HOW ARE YOU MAKING SURE YOUR
VISITORS STAY SAFE?
Guest: EVERYONE THAT COMES
IN THE DOOR IS GETTING SCREENED
OVER THE PHONE THE DAY BEFORE OR
AT THE FRONT DOOR WHEN THEY COME
IN.
WE REQUIRE MASKS INSIDE THE
BUILDING.
AND THEN, WE ENCOURAGE SOCIAL
DISTANCING INSIDE THE FACILITY.
BOTH IN OUR WAITING AREAS AND
WHILE WE'RE EXERCISING AS WELL.
Heather: ALL RIGHT.
GREAT TIPS HERE WITH OUR
PERSONAL TRAINER HERE, HANGING
OUT WITH US FROM CARLE.
