## Put it into practice

Explore the gym, ask for equipment demonstrations and choose a few straightforward movements. Start with a load that lets you control your technique.

Allow recovery time and note how you feel. Stop for pain, dizziness or unusual symptoms; discuss starting with a professional if you have a known health condition.

## Your next step

- Ask for a demonstration
- Start gently
- Plan your next visit
