Exercises, as well as exercise routines,\u00a0don\u2019t fall into straightforward categories such as \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad\u201d. However, many people – especially when they are first starting an exercise regime – have some fairly bad exercise habits that, over time, could lead to an injury.<\/p>\n

When performed by a beginner with restricted skill or fitness, plyometrics can result in a number of injuries.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s best to learn about safety with respect to exercise from a certified personal trainer, it is also essential to use common sense and steer clear of exercises that aren\u2019t right for your fitness level. Listen to the message that your body is giving you. When in doubt, back off. You will always be able to increase your intensity during your next workout.<\/p>\n
