Preventing Swimmer’s Ear: Tips from a Rocklin, CA Urgent Care Center


Like most people, you probably don’t have fond memories of swimming classes during P.E. Perhaps, then, it should come as no surprise why many Americans can’t swim. This isn’t just speculation. According to the American Red Cross, approximately 44% of adults in the country don’t know basic water-safety skills. These include capabilities like being able to jump into water that’s higher than your head, staying afloat in water for at least 60 seconds, and being able to swim for 25 yards.

Luckily, facilities like Mike Shellito Indoor Pool offer swimming lessons for both kids and adults. Of course, learning to swim takes time, which means that you’ll spend quite a few hours in the pool. Thus, if you’re not careful, you might develop swimmer’s ear.

Rocklin Urgent Care Clinic: Training for Your First Obstacle Race


As you probably know, getting at least 60 minutes of cardiovascular activity a week is crucial to maintaining overall health. But if you’re the type of runner who’s already mastered your daily running routine and has a few five-kilometer runs under your belt, perhaps it’s time to join the third annual Rocklin Ramble 5K obstacle course this April 30. Unlike your typical running event, obstacle races will have you climbing walls, jumping over hurdles, and even swinging across mud pits on top of the usual sprinting. Since these events are a notch or two above what you’re used to, Rocklin urgent care centers suggest properly training for them to log a respectable finish time and to avoid injuries. Warm Up First This should go without saying, but always warm up before proceeding with your training. Doing a bit of stretching, for example, can help reduce the likelihood of getting cramps or pulling a muscle.

Urgent Care: Avoid Running Injuries, Start the Year on The Right Foot


"Starting 2016 on the right foot is the focus of many resolutions being set for the New Year. With many sporting events on the calendar, there are plenty of opportunities to make good on those resolutions. For instance, Californians already started the year with a bang with the 16th Annual Resolution Run for that very purpose. Residents of Rocklin, CA, and the surrounding areas gathered at the Auburn Overlook on January 1, 2016, for this family friendly and regionally popular event. With more people looking to take on more active lifestyles, one can only assume that such events will be more common. Fun Runs and Races All around California, particularly within 25 miles of Sacramento, fun runs and races are already scheduled. There’s the Jed Smith Ultra Classic in Sacramento taking place on February where participants can choose to run 50M, 50K or 30K."

Five Worst Workout Mistakes to Avoid According to Urgent Care Clinics


There are many benefits to making a resolution to head to the gym more in the New Year. If heading to a gym in Rocklin wasn't a habit previously, however, you may find yourself making some common workout mistakes that could result in muscle strain and related injuries. To avoid that, here are some tips from urgent care clinics: Not Varying Reps Three sets of 10 reps is standard when it comes to reps, but it's not something that's set in stone.
