You are serious about getting into shape and staying in shape. But, if it has been some time since you've sweated, here some some things to think about.
Most injuries in the gym are due to imbalances and over doing to catch up for lost time.Here are some common hazards that can sideline you.
1. Always warm up. Get the blood flowing with a slow light running in place jog. Then spend some time stretching your legs, arms, and back.
2. Proper foot wear. Spend a little extra money on a new pair of quality workout shoes. You may even want to look into orthotic inserts.
3. Start out with light weights. Trying to lift too much weight is a set-up for a muscle injury.
4. Always drink plenty of water.
5. Make sure you cool down and stretch when finished.
6. Get a spinal check up before beginning your exercise program. A proper functioning nervous system and spine are vital to your fitness program.
