    10 Tips to Train SAFE!

    It is very important for all of us to train conservatively and not overdo things.

    1) Don't do any exercise that you aren't sure how to do. Always get personal instruction from acertified trainer.

    2) Don't do anything that hurts or "doesn't feel right". There are plenty of alternative exercisesfor every movement. Just ask us on the Turbulence Training forum for substitutions atwww.TTmembers.com.

    3) Whenever you start a NEW program, use lighter weights than normal, and only 1 set perexercise. You must expect extra soreness when starting a new program just because of the newexercises, so don't try to set world records in a new program right away.

    4) If you need extra recovery within the workout or between workouts, don't hesitate to take it.Safety first.

    5) Use a spotter if you are training with heavy weights. If you train alone at home, follow myrecommendations in the manual and do NOT train to failure.

    6) Check your ego at the gym door and start with the easier alternative exercises if appropriate,even if you have exercised in the past. The new exercises, and new style of movements willcause muscle soreness even from workouts you think "look easy".

    7) Do NOT do interval training more than 4 times per week. Even pro athletes don't play hard

    everyday, so why should we?

    8) Never skip a warm-up. Use the general bodyweight warm-ups and the specific warm-up setsin each TT workout.

    9) If you want to start TT but think you have an injury, get medical attention and have aprofessional therapist rehabilitate your injury before starting an exercise program.

    10) Check with your doctor before starting any new exercise or diet program. All together now,"Safety first!"

    Bonus 11) If you decide to use running as your form of interval training, make sure you havegood running shoes, always do an extra thorough warm-up, and choose a safe running surface(grass or trails rather than pavement/concrete). If you use a treadmill, please operate it safely.

Slowly lean forward until you feel a moderate stretch in the hip flexor area (the front side ofleg at the hip level). Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and then switch sides.

    Hamstring Stretch

    Now raise your right leg straight up in the air and try to bring it back until it is perpendicularto the floor. Keep the other leg flat and straight on the ground.

    Bring the leg up until a moderate stretch is felt. Support the leg in that position by holding itup with your hands or a towel looped around your foot.

    Lie on your back with both legs flat. Slightly bend your right knee. As you raise your leg, you will begin to feel a stretch in the hamstring. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and then switch sides.
