Injury Prevention
• Stretch before and after your workout.
• Replace worn sneakers, especially when you start to
see uneven wear in the heel.
• Begin SLOWLY, increase speed and intensity in a
gradual, progressive manner.
• If you feel pain during your workout, STOP. Continuing
to work out can worsen an injury or make pain worse.
