It seems like everyone promotes daily workouts at the gym as a way to maintain your health. While a combination of cardio and weight-training workouts can help you get in shape and reach your fitness goals, you may not know about several serious dangers at the gym that can make exercise more hazardous than beneficial. Of course, the gym can be a great place to work out as long as you know what to avoid.
First, many enthusiastic gym-goers hit the weights without making sure they know exactly what they are doing. Thus, the first danger that we will discuss is injuries that can occur if you are not conscientious of your positioning and methodology as you work out. You should always warm up before you work out so that your muscles are less likely to suffer from tears that can sideline you for weeks.
With weights, it is very important to make sure that your body is in alignment for you to get the full benefit of your exercise. Indeed, without staying in the proper position, you can sustain strains and damage to your bones, muscles, and joints that can later develop into serious health problems. Therefore, you should always consult a personal trainer before you try out a new workout or machine to make sure that you are doing it the right way.
Next, the gym equipment itself can be dangerous if handled improperly. While the gym is responsible for maintaining its equipment, you should also be aware of your surroundings. Sometimes, a person can careless leave a weight or medicine ball on the floor. If you take the time to check your environment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can avoid tripping over this misplaced object. Additionally, try not to rush as you set up weights and put them away. This way, you can avoid a smashed toe or finger from sliding weights.
Lastly, the slightly warm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], moist gym environment is a perfect habitat for some bacteria and fungi. Always wear flip-flops or shower shoes in the bathrooms. If you have an open wound,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], make sure that it is covered and sanitized so that you do not spread or catch any germs. Many gyms offer sanitizing spray for the weight machines; you may want to clean them off with the spray and your own towel before using them. Otherwise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you have an open skin sore,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can develop staph infections, which can be deadly. Additionally, you can begin to grow fungus like athlete's foot or ringworm if you came into contact with dirty equipment.
While you can be as safe and aware of dangers as possible while at the gym, you cannot always prevent illnesses and injuries at the gym.
