Whether you re a rookie at the gym or you ve taken a hiatus for a while, when you re starting a weight training regimen, exercising caution is always wise. Attempting to make major gains in strength or muscle mass within a short period of time is a common mistake made by neophytes.
Experts say that bones and tendons respond to exercise at a much slower rate than muscles do.
To avoid the problem, ease into weight training gradually and listen to your body. Don t wait for aching joints to let you know you re doing too much too soon. All rights reserved.
