Always wear appropriate workout attire, including comfortable and supportive shoes, and avoid loose clothing that could get caught in the moving parts. Proper hydration is crucial during exercise; keep a water bottle within easy reach to stay hydrated. If you have any pre-existing health conditions, consult your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
