I know that for me, there’s a lot that I won’t do unless checking with my doctor first to make sure I don’t make my arthritis worse, and weights can be dangerous whether you have arthritis or not. As you mentioned, having a medical check up before you work out will help prevent any accidents. I think I will also consider getting a trainer to work with me so I know nothing will go wrong.
