• Proper form (precision) is more important than the sloppy execution
of more repetitions.
• Perform ALL the exercises in the order listed for each drill.
• If you miss a day of training, pick up with the next day of the
training schedule.
• Exercise with a training partner whenever possible.
Although a little muscle soreness is to be expected when beginning a
new physical training program, do not aggravate injuries by continuing
to exercise when you are feeling pain or discomfort.

Injury Control
Injuries are not uncommon during intense physical training. Most
injuries can, however, be prevented. Safety is always a major concern.
Many common injuries are caused by overuse, that is, exercising too
much and too often and with too rapid an increase in the workload.
Most overuse injuries can be treated with rest, ice, compression
and elevation.
The most common running injuries occur in the feet, ankles, knees and
legs. Although they are hard to eliminate, much can be done to keep
them to a minimum. Preventive measures include proper warm–up and
cool–down. Failure to allow recovery between hard bouts of running can
lead to overtraining and can also be a major cause of injuries. If you
experience continuing or acute pain, see your doctor.
