751 - How can we prevent injuries while exercising?

To prevent injuries while exercising, follow these simple steps:

1. Warm up: Before exercising, do some light movements to get your muscles ready (like jumping jacks or jogging).
2. Stretch: Stretch your muscles after warming up and after exercising to prevent muscle strain.
3. Wear proper gear: Wear shoes and clothes that fit well and are suitable for the exercise you're doing.
4. Listen to your body: If you feel pain or discomfort, stop exercising and rest.
5. Start slow: Gradually increase the intensity and difficulty of your exercises.
6. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after exercising to avoid dehydration.
7. Exercise on a safe surface: Make sure the floor or ground is clear of obstacles and isn't slippery.

Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry!
