“Unmasking Gym Etiquette: 7 Shocking Habits You Didn’t Know Were Ruining Your Workout!”
If someone had to worry about being hit on, the gym quickly becomes another place they feel anxious going to.
Don’t Work Out in Front of the Dumbbell Rack
Lifting weights at the gym? Good for you! Just make sure you don’t do so directly in front of the dumbbell rack. The dumbbell rack can be a high-traffic area, especially during peak hours at the gym.
If your standing in front of the dumbbell rack, other gym goers have a hard time return their weights, which could create a potentially dangerous scenario. No one want to drop a 50-pound dumbbell on their foot!
Watch Your Form
Do you want to know the fastest way to get injured? Doing high-intensity workouts with poor form! We dare you to walk into a deadlift not knowing what you’re doing (we don’t really dare you). You won’t be walking away from the deadlift the same and that’s for sure.
Good form is the basis for all lifting situations. High-intensity workouts are highly effective, but only if you perform them correctly. Perform them too quickly or with your knees caved in can cause serious injury and pain.
Don’t Be Too Talkative
The gym can be a great place to meet new friends. After all, you’re all there to improve your overall health and fitness. But if you’re interrupting people during their workouts, you’re going to come off as rude instead of friendly.
