Tips of the trainers – how to avoid a workout injury. The two key points are to ease yourself into exercise gradually and Know what your weak areas are and then avoiding the type of activities that are going to push hard on that weakened area. For example, if you know you have knee problems, generally, you probably shouldnt run on a treadmill or do leg presses - both of which can aggravate an already weakened knee. Instead, try an exercise bike or even an elliptical machine, which does not cause any pounding on the knee joints. Likewise, if you have a bad back, you should normally avoid doing back stretches on a stability ball. If you have weak wrists, weight lifting may not be for you, and hip problems may prevent you from joining a spinning class. Our Fitness Motivators and Personal Trainers can modify our workout cards and training programmes for you, making sure that they are tailored to your goals and take into account any medical conditions or injuries that you might have. Likewise our class instructors can modify their classes to accommodate for any injuries. Book in for a review, free personal training consultation or class today.
