Gym Safety Tips
Workout gear…
Don’t wear shirts and pants that can get caught in equipment. That can lead to serious injury.
Make sure your workout gear won’t make you over heat.
Before working out, go to the bathroom and empty yourself.
And don’t eat a huge meal right before you start.
These things can help prevent a hernia.
Whenever possible, try and gym with a partner.
And if you are alone in the gym, don’t get yourself into a situation.
Always practice good housekeeping. This means everything has a place and everything is in its place, especially when you’re finished with a particular workout.
Use towels to wipe of sweat, slipping can hurt you badly.
If you don’t know how a piece of equipment work, ask. You’ll find guys in the gym are very helpful.
When adjusting equipment, make sure the locking mechanism are in place.
Before pulling on cables inspect them. If they snap, they can knock you out.
When using a piece of equipment be aware of pinch points. You don’t want to go loosing a finger now.
When doing an intense workout be aware of the possibility that you can faint.
When making up weights on dumbbells and barbells, do it in a low position. Either sit on the ground, or kneel. You don’t want to be leaning over cause then blood will rush to your head and you might get a headache.
Make sure your weight is balanced. If it’s not…. Do a test lift to see how it behaves.
Don’t leave barbells and dumbbells unattended on a bench, because they have a tendency to roll off.
Before you lift make sure your weights are secured. You don’t want them slipping off midway.
When putting weights on the floor don’t stack them, spread them out. It’s hard to see that they’re stacked from above and if you step on them, they can be as slippery as soap.
That’s it for gym safety tips. If you have more, please share them in the comments.
Until next time.
