Listen to your body!Whatever exercise you are doing, be sure to work at your own level and intensity. If an exercise seems too challenging, consider lowering the intensity. For example, do fewer repetitions, or hold the position for a shorter time than advised. Some rules of thumb: • never overstretch, or force a movement or position. • stop exercising if you experience any real discomfort or pain at any time, or if you become faint, dizzy, or have difficulty breathing. • if you suffered previous injuries and you start feeling discomfort during exercising, don't force it and consult with your doctor.

Always do...Always √ start your workout with a warm-up. √ maintain neutral spine alignment throughout your workouts. √ pull your belly button toward your spine to engage your abdominal muscles—this will give your lower back adequate support, build core strength, support your trunk and spine. √ maintain a good spine alignment while standing, but also while sitting and lying down—the same rules apply to all. √ move with control trough every movement, both going into and coming out of positions. This not only maximizes safety, but also increases the effectiveness of each exercise. √ remember to breathe—it may seem obvious, but still, it's a good reminder! :) √ work at your own pace—only do as much as is comfortable for you.. √ drink plenty of water to stay hydrated √ stop exercising if you experience any discomfort or pain at any time, or if you become dizzy, or have difficulty breathing. √ always take time for cool-down.
-
Never do ...X exercise on a full stomach. X ignore your medical conditions or fitness level. X exercise to a point of discomfort or pain. X hunch up your shoulders as you exercise, since this will collapse your chest and cause bad overall posture. X over-arch your back, since this can create unhealthy compression and tension on your disks. X allow your stomach to bulge out as you exercise. X sacrifice good technique for more reps or length of time held. X underestimate the importance of adequate rest: your body needs time between workouts to restore and repair itself, so rest is just as important as exercise.
