The most common mistake made when exercising is doing too much too soon- often causing injury.  

Here are our 5 tips to ensure you progress exercising safely.

  1. Progress cardio exercise by no more than 10% per week. This gives your muscle and joint tissue time to adapt. You will feel able to do more, hold yourself back and progress slowly.
  2. Don’t try and compete (too much) with the person next you in the gym or exercise class- ego can often be one of the major causes of sports injury!
  3. Listen to your body- delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) for a few days after heavy or new exercise is normal, but if this is muscle ache is lingering or getting worse- back off and listen to your body.
  4. Give your body adequate rest and recovery enabling microscopic tissue damage to repair. Having 1-2 rest days per week is always recommended.
  5. It is impossible to perform at 100% every workout- Usain Bolt cannot run a world record every single race.
