We all know workout or exercising is very important for our health but do you know what is important for a workout?
2. Warm up & Cool down: Most neglected or hastened part of workout routine is warm up and cool down but both of these are crucial for risk-free workouts. Warm-up ensures that your joints and muscles are prepared to take the load from exercising. When you skip the warm-up there is a risk that your joints and muscles are still stiff and exercising can cause moderate to severe injury. Cool down ensures that your muscles which are super active during workout are relaxed. Sometimes some minor mistakes during a workout go unnoticed but that can later give you a lot of trouble so cooling down helps you avoid such injuries.
3. Guidance: Even though many of us think we know what exercising is, it is not true. Just like nutrition, workout also depends on a whole lot of factors that are unique to each person like strength, flexibility, fitness, any injuries, other health problems if any, routine and many more. So when we randomly do any workout , it doesn't do much good to us. Always remember workout is not to make you slim or bulked up, it is to make you fit, strong, flexible. And workout experts plan a workout that suits you best and if you take a personal trainer then it also makes your workout risk-free as you do it under guidance. No internet videos can teach you the right form of workout and the incorrect form of workout is an open invitation to injuries. So at least until you learn the basics it is advisable to perform the workout under an expert's guidance.

1. Nutrition: Don't say, No Not Again! Because it is going to come up again and again. Some think that workout will make your body digest anything but actually, it's the opposite means proper nutrition will help you work out better. Actually, when you start a workout you have to take extra care of your nutrition. Ensuring proper pre, post, during workout and overall nutrition is essential. Bad nutrition will cause fatigue, and weak muscles thus more risk of injuries, more hard work to reach ideal body composition, and eventually nutrient deficiencies. All of this can make your workout routine halt or cut short.
