Avoid injuries = work out gradually!

Besides muscle soreness there can be real strains and sprains. These can be and must be avoided! You must warm up precisely, and starting practise with light weights. It is dangerous to lift heavy weights to over force your muscles, and you must always listen to the state of your muscles carefully. 

Stop training even in the case of the smallest pain. Stop training rather than becoming injured and unable to do sports for weeks or months!

Attention! There are many criticisms concerning certain weight training practises, about their effect on over forced muscles and joints. These are not fake concerns, because heavy weights could cause very serious abrasions, extensions or injuries. Even the practises presented in FitFive can cause injuries, if you force weak muscles to lift heavier weights.

Always do training carefully, with the least weight necessary, and always pay attention to the signs of your body!

Injury brings with it a loss of strength and time, furthermore it could limit your achievements permanently. Therefore it is very important to do exercises with smaller weights in the first phase, until your muscles get used to the burden. It is a waste of time lifting greater weights, as your progress will not become faster if your muscles were not prepared for work previously. You may get a serious injury! So the password is: GRADUALLY!
