It's Football Season, So...

Football fans...listen up!

If you are a football fan with health issues, health issues that you aim to control, or health that you want to maintain or improve, then you want to take breaks and, perhaps, stream football games.

Let me explain.

Don't let my words deter you from your fun. In fact, I hope you have more fun as you pursue these suggestions:

1) Stream. OK, you have the enormous flat-screen TV. It hangs on your wall in a great location in your home. During commercial breaks, can you still see your screen if you walk around? 

Hold this thought.

2) Elevate your legs. Swollen legs occur with prolonged sitting and standing. So, if you are watching a football...excuse me three football game times in a day (all ESTs of 1pm, 4pm, and 8pm on Sundays), then you should decrease the amount of swelling in your legs by elevating them.

3) Walk around. OK, now you are starting to put it in unison. Walk during commercial breaks. Walk during timeouts. Walk during plays. Oh, walk at halftime. Do some movement to move your blood around. Help out your heart and circulation, especially if you are a football watching fan with circulation and heart issues. Don't sit for six or more hours without some light to moderate movement. 

4) OK, all at once. The thought: Coordinate streaming, elevator, and walking or moving around. If you do this action, you will not miss any football action. Check it out...no FOMO. You get to have your cake and eat it too. 

Somewhat.

Watch football in your recliner. As the game continues, get up and walk around as you stream on your phone. You can go outdoors without missing a beat of the game. 

Bad quality? OK, then do a game day workout. Look, now you truly act more like the players you watch.

Much success to you | Derek | @teemptraining | derekteempt@gmail.com
