Exercise safety plays a large role in every person\u2019s life. \u00a0Whether it prevents a minor or major injury, there are many ways to for both athletes and casual exercisers to be safe.<\/p>\n


\nWarming up and cooling down are just some of the safety precautions that are taken by athletes. \u00a0Mr. Waymouth, school media center specialist\u00a0and boy\u2019s golf coach said that he stretches before and after exercising, as a precaution. \u00a0People tend to not take precautions while exercising, which is not a safe thing.\u00a0 \u201cI usually do not exercise other than yoga now and then, but exercising and being safe about it is a very good thing.\u201d sophomore Maiyah Czarnecki said. Though being safe takes peoples’ judgment, it also tends to require some rules.<\/p>\n

Along with exercising comes responsibility and being able to follow rules. \u00a0Czarnecki said \u201cpeople who exercise should always have a partner. \u00a0Just in case one of them gets hurt the other one can go get help.\u201d \u00a0Some of the main rules are to try and work up to the harder tasks but not to start out with the hardest exercises because that is when one can get hurt.\u00a0 \u201cTaper up your intensity. \u00a0Shorter time and intensity till you get into a routine where you can up your duration,\u201d Waymouth said. \u00a0Most take extra measures to make sure they are being safe before after and during the work out.<\/p>\n

Some of the many actions people can take to be safe while exercising would include, making sure to stay hydrated, correct breathing techniques, and not pushing themselves too hard to the point of injury. \u00a0There are some out there that think about if they would want someone important in their lives doing what they are doing before they do those things. \u00a0\u201cI just think about my sister and if I would want her to be doing the same thing I am doing before I do that thing and if I do not want her doing those things I go and find something safer to do,\u201d Czarnecki said. \u00a0Another thing to be careful of is if you exercise outside, you really need to dress for the weather and the environment that one is working out in. Waymouth said \u201cjust the regular stuff. \u00a0Dress for the time of day — like reflective stuff at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exercising on a machine is very different type of exercising so it requires a very different set of rules. \u00a0\u201cI suppose so. \u00a0A treadmill requires certain types of shoes,\u201d Waymouth said. \u00a0When exercising \u00a0people need to be more careful because the equipment tends to be more dangerous.\u00a0 The rules for using a machine when exercising tend to become much stricter to keep people safe.<\/p>\n

Some people learn the safety guidelines from going to a gym, but some people have learned these things because of gym class at school or sports.\u00a0 Waymouth learned the importance of exercise safety by playing sports in high school. \u00a0But then there are people who learn from seeing people get injured, or personal experience. \u00a0\u201cWear a helmet when riding a bike. \u00a0I have seen my sister crash way too many times for her not to learn the lesson,\u201d Czarnecki said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
