Tips & Warnings
If you have small children in your home, it is crucial to keep safety in mind. Rack free weights after use. Consider installing a lock on the door to your workout room.
Consult your physician before beginning a workout program. Your doctor will be able to recommend specific modifications based on your health history.
When working out, don't push yourself beyond your physical capabilities. This especially applies to using free weights. If you will be lifting free weights of any substantial weight, always take the safety measure of having a spotter.
