Warm up thoroughly

Warm-up is an indispensable start to any workout. Light exercise helps increase blood circulation, lubricate joints and activate muscle groups, thereby reducing the risk of injury. Combine light cardio exercises with stretching movements to prepare the body for the heavy exercise phase.

Eat a protein-rich meal before exercising

Eating a protein-rich meal about 2 hours before an exercise session will provide enough energy and support the muscle building process. Avoid exercising on an empty stomach so as not to reduce performance and negatively affect health.

Gradually increase the weight

Don't rush to try the weight that is too heavy from the start. Start with light weights, then gradually increase over time. Overtraining can lead to injury and affect long-term exercise.

Ensuring quality sleep

Getting enough and deep sleep before the workout helps the body recover, regenerate energy and improve performance. A good night's sleep is the foundation for a successful workout.

Drink enough water

The body loses water quickly during exercise, especially when doing high-intensity weight training. So, make sure to supplement enough water before and during your workout to maintain energy levels and support muscle function.
