Whether you’re a fitness first-timer or you’re a pro at getting the blood pumping, working out can really take its toll on your body, especially when you cut corners and push yourself too hard. As tempting as it is to keep going, these are the times when you need to do what’s best for your body. Sometimes a few days rest is just what you need, but other times, it might be that some expert treatment is in order. Have you tried our in-house gym therapy sessions at Core Gym?
No Pain, No Gain
Aches and pains in muscles and joints are to be expected if you want to reach your goals, but it’s important to know your limits and familiarise yourself with good practices so that you don’t cause any serious long-term damage. Get used to incorporating dynamic stretches before and after your workouts in order to avoid muscle strain.
When it comes to gym equipment, don’t get ahead of yourself. For the newbies, we cover a lot of it during your induction, but if there’s ever a machine you’re not sure of, don’t hesitate to ask a member of staff or your personal trainer to show you the ropes. We’re always adding to our facilities and using machines incorrectly can be very dangerous. Taking the time to perfect your techniques will really benefit your workouts.

Now that you’ve got the basics of good gym practice nailed down, hopefully you won’t run into any serious problems, but sometimes strains are simply unavoidable.
