Before indulging in any workout program, make sure that you begin with a warm-up or stretching and end the activity with a cool down like static stretching and slowly walking for 5-10 minutes. Some suggest that warm-up activities may include jogging in place, forward, or around your area for 5-10 minutes; jump rope; and some stretching.
Warm-up and cool down
It helps to improve flexibility and reduces muscle injury and soreness.

When starting a new workout program, do not try to push yourself too hard; begin with a light training, and then gradually start to build the intensity, duration, and frequency of your workout program.
Begin slowly
Do not concentrate in one exercise routine because it can lead you to overuse and repetitive use of your muscles and as such, injuries can happen.
Vary your workout
“No pain, no gain,” if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort in your body which you cannot tolerate, don’t push yourself because that pain can be a symptom of injury; refrain from working out.
Listen to your body
Do not forget to fuel your body with plenty of water before, during, and after your workout.
Fuel your body
While having your workout, a good rule of thumb is to drink water with:
a. 8 ounces about 20 to 30 minutes before working out
b. 8 ounces every 10 to 20 minutes during your workout
c. 16 ounces when your workout is done
