How can we be aware of the Bear if we don't know it's there?

Injury can sneak up on you, sometimes you will never know how close you came!

If we can't see it and it didn't get us then does it really matter?

Check out this video of a Snowboarder who does not realise at the time how close she came to be attacked by a Bear.

Injury is a bit like this video.

Sometimes you might be doing an exercise in training and your technique is dangerous.

You might get away with it sometimes.

But if you keep being chased by bears, eventually they are going to get you.

You have only got to watch Leo in the Revenant to discover what happens when the bear gets you:

So by reminding ourselves of the consequences of injury, a small investment in injury prevention seems like time well spent.

It is not just about the Gym but what we do with the rest of our time that also counts.

Bullet Points:

1. Check your technique

2. Value quality over quantity - Have the moral courage to no rep yourself!

3. Stretch, Mobilise, Foam Roll and move on a daily basis

4. See a Physiotherapist if your pain persists

5. Don't sit down all day. Move for 5 minutes every hour (get a standing desk)

6. Go one step further and get a Treadmil desk:
