GENERAL TIPS AND PRINCIPLES
Progress Slowly:
If any of these movements are new to you - take it slowly and only do an amount you are comfortable with.
When you know what that is you can begin to improve - but slowly. If you increase the number of repetitions you do by one each week you can be sure to improve and know you are unlikely to cause an injury.
