Whether you’re a dedicated gym rat or exercise enthusiast, workout injuries are no fun. 

So here are our top tips to prevent them:

First, warm up your muscles. 

Working out with cold muscles is a recipe for disaster. 

This is because they are less flexible and more prone to tears. 

So set aside 10 minutes before your workout to stretch your muscles and get your body moving.

Second, respect your body’s limitations.

Pain is your body’s way of telling you to stop. 

It is often a sign that you’re doing something wrong or you’re pushing your body past its reasonable limits.

Stop what you’re doing and evaluate what movements caused the pain in the first place.

Lastly, take rest days.

When you’re racing towards your next fitness goal, you may not want to step away from the gym.

This is a mistake. 

Rest days are crucial for your body to recover and rebuild your muscles. 

We recommend taking one full rest day for every 3 workout days.

After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
