This guide emphasizes the importance of injury prevention during exercise by maintaining proper technique, prioritizing recovery, and listening to your body’s needs.
- Warm-Up and Cool-Down:
Begin with dynamic stretches or light cardio to prepare your muscles and joints for activity, and end with static stretching to promote recovery. - Listen to Your Body:
Avoid overtraining by recognizing signs of fatigue or discomfort, and incorporate rest days to allow for muscle repair and growth. - Appropriate Footwear and Gear:
Use equipment suited to your activity, including supportive shoes and any protective gear required, to reduce strain and prevent accidents.
Implementing these practices can keep your fitness journey safe and sustainable.
