Worried About Injury When Exercising?
Moving carefully is safer than not moving at all — build confidence with gradual, body-friendly steps.
Fear of injury can hold you back from starting a new routine — but most exercises are safe when approached with care.
How to exercise confidently:
- Start slow and increase intensity gradually
- Focus on good form and warm up properly
- Choose low-impact options like swimming, walking or cycling
- Wear suitable shoes and comfortable clothing
- Listen to your body and rest if something doesn’t feel right
- Get advice from a physiotherapist or health professional if unsure
Gentle movement is often helpful for pain and stiffness. Avoiding movement entirely can lead to more physical issues in the long term.
