Before you start, please read these important safety tips:
- Don't hold your breath during strength exercises. This could affect your blood pressure.
- Use smooth, steady movements to bring weights into position. Avoid jerking or thrusting movements.
- Avoid locking the joints of your arms and legs into a strained position. Breathe out as you lift or push a weight and breathe in as you relax.
- Muscle soreness lasting a few days and slight fatigue are normal after muscle building exercises.
- Exhaustion, sore joints, and painful muscle pulls are not normal.
