Lane 7-For Your Health Tips

1. Prepare to be successful. Stretch before and after each practice. It will help increase your flexibility which will help you recover faster, feel stronger longer, and feel better after each workout.
2. Track your progress. Start a little personal log book of your yardage and practice times. This is an excellent way to stay motivated and chart your progress.
3. You are what you eat. One of the great things about working out regularly is the opportunity to eat a wider variety. Keep in mind that you need to balance your diet and make sure you are getting enough protein and carbohydrates daily.
