Throughout life we are faced with heartache, obstacles, and even injuries. It's how we choose to handle these situations that determines the outcome.
When an athlete is faced with an injury, the ultimate fear of their future lays in the hands of how they handle their recovery. Often times an athlete becomes depressed because of their limitation, angry because of their mishap and ashamed of their inability to perform.
Once an injury occurs the grieving process begins. The road to recovery is just that a road. Choosing what road you want to travel down before you start, is the best way to go if and when an injury strikes. Preparing your body every day through a little bit of exercise is a great way to be on the defense of a healthy body.
If exercise is new for you, start slow with a 30-minute walk, if you're an avid exerciser don't forget to stretch and switch up your routines and if you are an athlete remember down time is key.
No matter what level of fitness you are at, we are all athletes in the game of a healthy body, protect that body now because you never know the future.
Welcome to Splits59
We're a women's athletic clothing company located in Marina Del Rey, in the heart of sunny Southern California. We may design athletic clothing specifically for women, but we know that there's much more to athletes than just the sports they do. We're holistic creatures. We care about food, exercise, recovery, nutrition, alignment, massage, vitamins, sleep, medicine, equipment, racing, and so much more. And this is our chance to talk about all that stuff too. The way we design our clothing, by blending form and function, is our first step in celebrating the importance of having a well-rounded lifestyle. You shouldn't have to sacrifice what's important to you; it is possible to have more.
As this blog evolves, we will share what we've learned from experts in many different fields who have helped us maintain our health and well being as we've attempted to achieve our goals. We don't expect you to embrace it all, but we hope that you'll learn something from what we share, and we encourage you to contribute your own comments and ideas along the way. And not to lose sight of our core inspiration, we'll also share with you important local, national, and international athletic events that we know you want to read about.
Thank you for joining us on our adventures. We look forward to having you along for the ride.
