Staying Safe At The Gym
The most common reasons for getting injured in the gym can occur before you even get there. Spending all day lying on the couch doing nothing can’t possibly set you up properly for a useful workout. Another one is poor posture; slumping over a computer screen can cause muscle and ligament strain leading to general weakness in your musculo-skeletal structure. So take care at work to adopt the correct posture and be sure to utilise any necessary ergonomic aides which have been provided for you. Once at the gym make sure you know how to correctly use any equipment; many injuries are caused by improper technique and simply by doing too much too quickly.
