Safety Checklist for Gym Equipment
The gym while being a good place to work out your body can also be quite dangerous if gym equipment
is not used properly. Accidents in the gym are a common source of injury to people who are exercising.
However, this can be avoided if you take care to follow these safety rules.
1. Know your Limitations
One of the most common gym injuries occurs where the person using the fitness equipment over
extends themselves. Too many repetitions of a stressful exercise or using weights that are way above
what you are used to can seriously injure you or even kill you. Strength fitness equipment is used in a
progressive manner meaning you need to let your body get used to a certain level before moving to the
next one.
2. Use the Right Fitness Equipment for the Intended Workout
Seek advice from a trainer or doctor on what the right equipment is for the training you want to do.
Different equipment has different purposes for example the best cardio equipment is one that
strengthens your lungs and increases lung capacity and not necessarily the one that makes your chest
stronger. Some gym equipment may be usable for a wide variety of workouts but make sure you confirm
this first to lower risk of injury.
3. Learn how to do the Workout Right
This is especially true for strength fitness equipment such as barbells. There are three aspects to this
rule. First, ask a trainer or fellow gym user for advice on the best way to do a new exercise. Second,
familiarize yourself with the equipment by reading its manual. It is important that you understand how
the equipment is operated and any safety features which it may have in order to reduce risk of injury.
Third, learn which exercises can be done solo and which ones need a spotter. Heavy weightlifting needs
a spotter at all times otherwise there is risk of injuries to the torso, limbs, and neck.
4. Follow the Rules of the Gym
The administration of the gym is looking out for you when they post instructions on such things as how
to use the best cardio equipment. These instructions are usually stemmed from a wealth of knowledge
and past experience. Users who tend to ignore these guidelines usually find themselves in trouble at
some point.
Lastly, learn the difference between burn caused by exercise and actual injury so that you can seek
doctor’s attention for the latter immediately it occurs.
