Recovering From A Injury

Often times we cause injury to ourselves that have an adverse effect on our bodies and can disrupt our exercise routine. If you injure yourself first and foremost go to the doctor to make sure there is nothing broken and follow doctor orders.

They will probably tell you to put the body part on R.I.C.E

Rest-Don't stop, but limit use of the body part.

Ice-Ice, ususally in 10-15 for a few hour intervals.

Compression-usually hot or cold depending on the injury. Your doctor will tell you more specific instructions.

Elevation-Keep the body part elevated, if possible keep above your heart. For example, if you hurt your leg you may have to lay down with pillows under your knees.

This is not by any stretch of the imagination a substitute for a visit to the doctor office, but they are very likely to prescribe some variation of RICE along with some pain medication.

Follow doctor's orders and then when you do return, do so slowly at a modified routine until you can build back up to where you were before you were injured.

What if I Do Not Learn The Correct Exercises and Food Intake For My Body?

• I become easily swayed by false doctrine.
It is so incredibly easy to be swayed by false doctrine. There are and will continue to be an enormous array of diets, exercise videos, pills, serums, etc, etc. Saints if you hear nothing else hear this! Do not believe them. If it were that easy, everyone would be in perfect shape and health. Stop being beguiled into believing that you can have it all and not have to work for it. Stop believing that you can eat whatever and whenever you want with no exercise and lose weight safely because of some actor claiming to be a doctor, nutritionist and/or other health care professional gets on a TV at 2:00 in the morning and advertises some pill made out of who knows what. STOP

• I greatly increase the likelihood of becoming discouraged and not seeing or feeling results.
You are to lose weight slowly. You should be the last one to recognize weight loss. If you lose too fast it can be dangerous. Your body has to take time to make changes, it didn’t come all at once so don’t expect it to go all at once. Stay focused and assiduous and the results will come. Remember that if GOD wanted us all to look alike we would, so just because someone else seems to be doing great in your eyes doesn’t mean you are doing poorly.

• I can cause injury to myself.
If you rush into something you can hurt yourself physically. If you have specific health concerns, you can deny yourself proper nutrition. This is why it is imperative that you consult with your doctor, nutritionist and/or other health care professional and do not do something just because something works for them. GOD created doctors, nutritionist and/or other health care professionals so that we can utilize them to help take care of ourselves. They can’t do their job if we don’t let them. If you injure yourself, then you have to waste time to recuperate what you have worked to accomplish.

Answer these questions.

What false doctrine have I been faced with?
What has caused you to become discouraged and what can you do to improve the situation?
Have you had any injuries? What do you have to do to heal?
