As fitness becomes increasingly popular, gyms have become a top choice for people seeking physical activity. Yet many overlook potential injury risks caused by poor form, improper use of gear, inadequate warm-ups and more. Seasoned gym-goers who have experienced various training setbacks and injuries know how to recognize potential risks and train safely.

CGTN features professional bodybuilder Jin Shicheng, who has 16 years of training experience and has endured his share of injuries and setbacks. He analyzes four frequent gym injuries and offers actionable safety advice for ordinary fitness lovers, encouraging audiences to build long-term, sustainable and healthy lifestyles. As Jin puts it, fitness is never about training aggressively but about training consistently for the long run.
