Warm up:
Proper warm up before you begin your workout helps to get your muscles ready for exercise and can help
prevent serious injury.
2.
Control resistance:
Always work with resistance that you can handle through a full range of motion. Know your limitations.
3.
Breathe:
Keep your breathing at a constant but steady pace. Avoid holding your breath as this may cause physical harm.
4.
Keep your form and control:
