How to minimise Injuries while Exercising

Here are a few tips for preventing injuries while exercising:

  1. Warm up before exercising: A proper warm-up can help increase blood flow to the muscles and improve flexibility, which can help reduce the risk of injury.

  2. Prime the muscles you want to work: by executing small primer movements before using larger muscles it turns the right muscles on and subsequently switches the wrong muscles off leading to you getting strong in the right places.
     

  3. Use proper form: Using proper form when performing exercises can help reduce the risk of injury. It's important to pay attention to technique and listen to your body.

  4. Gradually increase intensity: It's important to gradually increase the intensity of your workouts to give your body time to adapt. Sudden increases in intensity can increase the risk of injury.

  5. Use proper equipment: Make sure you are using the right equipment for your activity. Using proper safety gear can help reduce the risk of injury.

  6. Listen to your body: Pay attention to your body and stop if you feel pain or discomfort. It's important to stop immediately if you feel pain and seek medical attention if necessary.

By following these tips and being mindful of your body, you can help reduce the risk of injury while exercising.
