Three hints for staying healthy while you lift. When you're strength training, all the right moves can make you buff and beautiful. On the flip side, one false move could lead to injury. Be smart during your weight workout by observing the basic tenets of safety: Keep the movement slow and controlled-don't jerk the weights. Don't lock your joints as you extend your arms or legs; extending all the way won't help develop your muscles and puts you at risk for injuries to your elbows and knees. Be conscientious about working opposing muscle groups. If you work your chest, be certain you work your back muscles just as aggressively. Neglecting the opposing muscle group can cause muscular imbalances, which can lead to problems with your posture, and ultimately can undermine the strength you're trying so hard to build.
