Training tips and tricks when you come back after injury

If you start training again after a long pause or injury it is best to start slowly and here is some more advice.

1. If you don't train with one particular person, do not train with your normal training partner. 2. If you train with someone whose style is not yours, it will take away from the enjoyment you will receive from the session. 3. You need to be consistent in your training. 4. Go to a gym with a training partner. 5. You should train three days per week. 6. You need to be in the gym at least an hour and a half before you train and an hour and a half after you train.

7. You need to do as much cardio as possible pre (5 minutes jumping rope or treadmill and 5 minutes stretching) and during (10 jumping rope or treadmill and 5 minutes of stretching) your training. 8. Cardio and stretching help alleviate any imbalances that you might be carrying. 9. To do so, you need to warm up with 10 to 20 minutes of running on an appropriate cycle. After an initial warm up, do 10 to 20 minutes of low-intensity running. Perform a 20 to 60 second all-out cycle.
