involvement as many sports do improve cardiovascular endurance muscular strength and endurance but flexibility and weight control are often not improved As well sometimes playing a sport can be hazardous to your health especially if you are a weekend athlete One of the problems with many sports is their seasonal nature Its not uncommon for people to go for five or six months with very little physical activity then jump headlong into a favorite seasonal sport forgetting how those months of have affected their fitness level Cant wait for the ski season to get here What are you doing to get into shape for skiing Have you joined a winter league basketball volleyball bowling badminton hockey Once a week activities will not improve your fitness level and if you are only active once a week you may be setting yourself up for various types of injuries Get yourself in shape now for your sport by doing exercises that will improve your body and prepare it for seasons activities Remember to improve your present level of fitness you must exer cise a minimum of three times per week Three times per week activi ty must be maintained throughout your sports season to prevent your body being
