Important Questions to Ask Yourself When Looking For a Quality Gym
Does the gym staff have some academic and life-experience education
regarding weight training? If they don't have a sports medicine or
exercise science degree, they should at least have some sort of
certification from a recognized organization such as the National Strength
and Conditioning Association.
Is the gym clean and is the equipment well maintained? Check the seats on
benches and machines and make sure they are stable. Make sure the cables
do not appear worn and are likely to break.
Is the air in a gym fresh and well circulated? It should never smell stale or musty.
Is the temperature of the gym maintained at a level that won't increase the possibility of injuries? Temperatures that are too cold make joint and muscle injuries more likely.
Does the gym you're considering have any regularly scheduled follow-up
evaluations of your progress? It's essential to find out if they offer an
initial orientation to equipment you don't know how to use, but it's also
vital that they schedule times to reevaluate your program and vary the
routine.
Online Pharmacy!
Does the gym have an emergency medical plan in place and are the staff
members trained in CPR and first aid in case someone becomes ill or
injured?
Weight Training Tip
When using a leg extension machine to strengthen quadriceps, make sure you
set the machine so that you do not sit too far forward which puts stress
on your knees or sit too far back which can put stress on your back. If
you don't get the right feel of it, ask a trainer to help you find the
correct setting for your height.
Protect your skin from the sun with a block that screens both UVB and UVA light. Make sure your sunscreen contains both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Sunblock manufacturers went ballistic about popular ingredients avobenzone or Parsol 1789 when it was discovered that the chemical deteriorates in sunlight. There is no perfect sunblock, but wearing any lotion with a SPF of 15 to 30 is still effective.
Take Your Vitamin E Supplement Even if You Think You Don't Need it.
Recent research concludes that antioxidants such as vitamin E may indeed
be protection against free radicals that contribute to diseases such as
cancer and even arthritis. Exact RDA's are still in contention but it's
safe to take 400 International Units daily.
