Why you should learn to identify gym equipment
Gym related stresses and strains are the most common reason why people don’t turn up to workouts the next day.

This can help you turn them to your benefit rather than work against your efforts.
Here’s how it can help:

Benefits of proper form and technique
Proper form while exercising is a lot more critical than the weight you’re pushing.
This is especially important during strength training when you deal with a huge amount of weight. There are immediate and long-term problems if you do not use proper form to deal with heavy weights.
Let’s look at a few:
Strength Training Injuries
Short Term
Fractures
Sprains
Strains
Dislocations
Long Term
Muscle overload and fatigue
Nerve damage
Rotator cuff injuries
Bone-related stress injuries
The key to avoiding MOST of these is just to be mindful of the type of movement you’re executing and not forgetting to warm up properly.
Warming up is more important than you know – it increases blood flow to muscles, improves oxygen delivery and preps your muscles for the impending workout.
One other way to be healthy by being physically active is swimming it is a wonderful way of keeping fit
