RIO Fitness Chicago® Exercise & Nutrition Blog

RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Look at this picture. Don't let an injury be the reason you don't exercise. You can ALWAYS train around it. A lower body injury? You can still do core/upper body. Upper body injury? You can still do core/lower body/cardio. A midsection injury? You can do still light cardio like walking or a stationary bike. Staying active helps you recover faster, and being inactive does the opposite. After just two weeks off from exercise, cardio & strength levels in the body begin to plummet, with cardio going faster. Ps. The guy in the picture is Kyle Maynard. Author, Crossfit & MMA athlete, and all-around badass all despite being a quad-amputee.
