What are some strength-training exercise safety guidelines?

What will be an ideal response?


Select exercises involving all major muscles. Select exercises that strengthen the core. Never lift weight alone. Warm up properly. Exercise larger muscle groups before smaller muscle groups. Exercise opposing muscle groups in the same workout. Perform all exercises in a controlled manner. Use the entire range of joint motion. Breathe naturally in during the concentric phase and out during the eccentric phase. Avoid holding the breath. Allow adequate recovery between sets. Discontinue training if there is unusual pain. Cool down properly.
