Welcome to the Get Fit Guys, quick and dirty tips to slim down and shape up.

My name is Ben Greenfield. I'm the Get Fit Guy and in this episode you're going to learn how to exercise, eat, and supplement when you need to heal injuries as fast as possible.

Now I don't remember where I first heard this, but it's certainly a true statement.

Injuries never disappear. They just move around your body.

Well, how true is that?

It seems that in most active, hard-charging folks, once an elbow injury heals, the pain or discomfort

moves to your knee, and once that heals, it migrates to your hip.

And once the hip begins to feel okay, it moves to your shoulder or your back or your neck.

And so on.

You get the idea.

Well, I've certainly covered a fair amount about exercise-related injuries and how to work out when you're injured.

Over on the Get Fit Guy website.

When you go to the show notes for this episode, episode number 229, over at quick and dirty tips.com, I'll put a link to all of those previous articles I've written, like how to exercise

with an ankle and foot injury, a knee injury, a low back injury, et cetera.

But I've never before actually laid out what a sample

program would look like if you had a serious injury or a sore or immobile joint and you wanted to

avoid surgery while healing that area as safely, quickly, and effectively as possible.

Until now, what you're going to find in this episode is a sample

proactive approach to healing an injury naturally. In this case, I'm going to give you an example

for a shoulder, but you can apply these same techniques to any injury that you have. Hopefully,

this information will get your wheels turning about how you can both stay fit through an injury

and get an injured area healed up as quickly as possible.
