Health screening: Use pre-exercise questionnaires and review medical history, medications, recent surgeries, cardiovascular or metabolic conditions, and any musculoskeletal issues. Require physician clearance when indicated.

Baseline testing: Measure resting vitals (blood pressure, heart rate), movement quality (squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull, overhead mobility), balance ands requires attention to client assessment, program design, technique instruction, equipment maintenance, and ongoing monitoring.

Individual assessment and goal setting

Initial screening (health history, movement screens, strength and mobility assessments) identifies limitations, contraindications, and starting loads.

Clear, realistic goals guide program design and progression.

Qualified experienced training, ongoing education, and experience in strength training reduce injury risk and improve outcomes.

Emphasis on learning and reinforcing correct form for each exercise minimizes joint and soft-tissue stress.

Progressive overload should be gradual. Load, volume, and complexity increase only when technique and recovery permit.

Warm-up and cool-down

Dynamic warm-ups prepare muscles, joints, and the nervous system for work.

Mobility, activation, and movement-specific drills help prevent injury.

Cool-down and recovery strategies (stretching, soft tissue work, sleep, nutrition) support tissue repair and adaptation.
