Before you try any of the myriad facilities on offer, you need to warm up. A gym staff member can advise you on how. Stretching improves your muscles' range of motion and helps keep them long. That's important because they tend to shorten as you get older, making you creaky and a figure of fun for badly dressed skateboarding teenagers. It's also important because an injury to a tendon or ligament could leave it permanently stretched, which raises the likelihood of a recurrent injury. Ideally, you should do so for at least five minutes. Get some help to develop a routine involving stretching, a nifty yoga move called the Sun Salutation, followed by a few minutes on a bike or treadmill.
