Set reasonable, reachable goals for your exercise program
3. KNOW YOUR BODY IN DETAIL

4. KNOW YOUR SPORT
Its requirement, risks, benefits, preparatory training, and protective measures
5. PREPARE
Start easily and build into activity. Warm up and cool down. Stretch out. Cross-train
6. KNOW THE MOST COMMON INJURIES
And know the signs of overeating
7. KNOW THE CURE
Injuries should be treated early and aggressively to prevent degenerative changes from occurring and to ensure a speedy return to activity
