The best way to avoid it is to follow the right measures and correct form. Here are some tips to keep in mind to avoid workout-related injuries. Image Credit: Pexels

Warm up & cool down

Cold muscles are less flexible and are more prone injuries. Therefore, you should not miss warming up. Cooling down is also as important as a warming up. Image Credit: Pexels

Set realistic goals

It doesn't always imply that you can still perform that difficult lift or run just because you could a month ago when you last trained. Be honest with yourself about your existing abilities and start out cautiously. Image Credit: Pexels

Technique

Poor form, particularly when lifting weights, might result in severe injuries. Take the time to master good form at the start of a new exercise routine. Image Credit: Pexels

Listen to the pain

Some pains and aches can be more serious than soreness. Give those muscles a break if something bothers you. Image Credit: Pexels

Eat right

Overall fitness and workout performance are equally as dependent on a healthy diet and eating at strategic times before and after workouts. Image Credit: Pexels

Go slow

Progressive development is the most crucial component of injury prevention. Take your time and gradually increase the intensity, especially if you've been spending a lot of time on the sofa. Image Credit: Pexels
