1) Proper Nutrition
-Studies have shown that injury, pain, and degenerative diseases increase with decreased pH levels (more acidic). That being said, choose foods that will keep your body more alkaline rather than acidic. For a list of alkaline/acid foods, check out http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/acidalkfoods.html
-Stay hydrated!!
-Increase omega 3 fats because they reduce inflammation.
-Avoid over using non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) because they can inhibit repairing tissues in your body.
2) Use proper technique
-Have your trainer pay close attention to your technique and try to reproduce that action when you are working out on your own.
-Warm-up so that your muscles are ready to work.
-Cool down to avoid blood pooling and light headedness.
3) Listen to your body
-Avoid overtraining.
-Respect your abilities and orthopedic status. Progress into more difficult exercises; don’t try too much too soon.
