Lifting Weights Safely

Get started building muscle safely by following these tips:

Ask your physical therapist or doctor first before you start any exercise program.

Start slowly, especially if you haven’t been active for a long time. Little by little, build up your activities and how hard you work at them.

Pay attention to your body. Exhaustion, sore joints, or muscle pain mean you’re overdoing it.

Use small amounts of weight to start. Focus on your form, and add more weight slowly, over time.

Use smooth, steady movements to lift weights into position. Don’t jerk or thrust weights.

Avoid “locking” your arm and leg joints in a straight position.

Don’t hold your breath during strength exercises. That could cause changes in your blood pressure. Breathe out as you lift the weights and breathe in as you relax.

Ask for help. To get started, schedule a session or two with one of our therapists or ask for a personal trainer recommendation.
