Injury Prevention Tips for George St. Pierre’s RushFit

Probably the most easily overlooked impediment to people starting into a workout program is not that people are lazy or can’t stick with things. Rather it is the fact that many times participants overdo it and injure themselves.

They set out to do what I often call “trying to defeat” the workout.  They might be harkening back to their former athletic selves and trying to get back to that vision by going as hard as possible as early as possible in the process. They might be simply unaware of the right pace to work out for their fitness level. Most often they don’t have a good concept of the time issues and patience that goes into getting really fit. By this I mean that you will never reach your peak fitness level by doing one 8 or 13 week program. Your best fitness is always tomorrow and will always take time over the course of time to achieve. When you understand this, you won’t feel the need to attempt to go too hard too fast. This is perhaps the biggest piece of advice I can give someone to avoiding injury in George St. Pierre’s RushFitprogram

The goal is simply to keep but with one very important caveat. To keep up the right way means that you are practicing the exact form as prescribed in the program and never deviating from that. When you have the moves down and are practicing them correctly during the course of working out, you will have the ability to safely stepladder your approach up the intensity scale. Don’t do the reverse where you go intense before you are practicing proper form. This will lead to bad results and quite possibly injury. There is no quicker way to have an exit from a program.
