Watch out ,weekend warriors! Exercise habits could hurt you. People who save all their exercising for big weekend bursts of physical activity might be doing their bodies a disservice – these weekend warriors' workout habits make them prone to injury, doctors say.
Weekend-warrior injuries are most common among formerly active people over age 30, whose work and family obligations prevent weekday exercise. People also hurt themselves when they have been inactive, and then suddenly take on a major exercise program, such as training for a half-marathon, he said.A better plan is to break your sessions into smaller, more frequent increments and to avoid exercising too much, too soon.
Gradually increase the amount that you're working out – and the intensity level – on a week-to-week basis.Each day, more than 10,000 Americans visit emergency rooms for sports and exercise-related injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The most common workout injury is muscle strain. If you have no choice but to work out on the weekend ,Dr Jeffrey Spang said, that's better than not exercising at all . However, it's better to spread the workouts over several days throughout the week.
Here are four tips to avoid weekend-warrior injuries:
6 / 9
1. Do a warm-up, like walking or biking at a moderate pace, or doing lunges and shoulder circles. Don't
stretch until your muscles are warmed up. After a workout, cool down gradually, and then stretch your muscles.
2. Sore muscles are normal after an intense workout, but if you feel sharp or stabbing pain, stop exercising immediately. Apply ice and visit your doctor if the pain doesn't go away after a few days.
3. Find an exercise buddy. When you work out with a friend, the time will be more enjoyable. You'll also be
more likely to exercise regularly, because you won't want to let your buddy down. 4. Use proper techniques when you're working out. To learn about the safest ways to exercise, talk with a
trainer or learn more about your favorite activity on nationally-known sports magazine.

If your teen has not yet selected a college major, ask about the kinds of careers he or she has thought about and what is appealing about those professions. If you teen has already selected a major, ask what he or she might like to do with a degree in that field and if there are any other career ideas that have come to mind. This step is designed to get them thinking about their future, rather than just selecting a career because they feel pressured to do so.
62.______
When your teen talks about possible careers or courses of study, try to ask about the thought behind that idea. Ask thought-provoking(发人深省的) questions such as, “What kind of job do you see yourself doing with a
degree in economics?” “With a degree in business, do you see yourself running your own business or working for

someone else?” “Where do you see yourself working with degree in psychology?” “What appeals to you about a degree in liberal studies?” This step is designed to get teens to think about what they might do with the degree they are thinking about getting. 63.______
Once your teen is thinking about a particular degree, encourage him or her to discover what usefulness that degree will have. It can be as simple as typing a question into a search engine such as, “What can I do with a sociology degree?” Additionally, many college and university websites have a list of degrees and/or majors along with corresponding careers. At this stage you’ll want to be promoting the exploration of various majors and careers so that your teen has a good idea of what opportunities might be available to him or her. 64______
As your teen begins to identify a few potential majors and corresponding careers, inquire as to how much money he or she will be able to make in that career field. This information can be found by searching salary websites or asking a search engine question such as, “How much money do nurses make?”, or simply typing in “Average salary for accountants,” You may also want to work with your teen to help him or her get an idea of what kind of salary is needed to live a particular kind of lifestyle.
65.______
Now that your teen has narrowed down the available career choices to those that are most appealing, assist him or her in choosing the best option and making a plan for obtaining the required education and finding employment in the field. This will necessarily involve selecting a college or university that offers the desired degree program and determining the requirements for attending that educational institution.
