Your mind becomes sharper, you lower your risk of contracting diabetes, cancer and heart disease, and you improve your self-esteem. However, any time you workout or exercise, there is a chance you could become injured. When I was on the dance team in high school, I pulled a hamstring, which has never quite gotten back to normal! I wasn’t always very diligent about warming up and caring for my body before and after a workout. I know much more now. The following…
