What are general tips for preventing injury during physical exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: 1) try to incorporate variety, in both the exercises you do and intensity of your workouts 2) in general, if something hurts, avoid it - at least in the short term 3) don't be rigid in your workouts, regardless of what you have plan for a day's routine, be flexible about changing things up if something hurts or you are just not feeling well
