3.2.2.Points to be remembered

• Always warm up before you start lifting weights: This helps get your muscles warm and prevent injury. You can warm up with light cardio or by doing a light set of each exercise before going to heavier weights.
• Lift and lower your weights slowly: Don't use momentum to lift the weight. If you have to swing to get the weight up, chances are you're using too much weight.
• Breathe: Don't hold your breath and make sure you're using full range of motion throughout the movement.
• Stand up straight: Pay attention to your posture and engage your abs in every movement you're doing to keep your balance and protect your spine.
