You may think you're doing your immune system a favor by going to the gym for a good workout, but be sure you don't forget to protect yourself from disease by following these simple steps:
*Wear flip flops or other shower-friendly shoes in the shower, locker rooms, and near the pool to avoid fungal infections.
*Wipe down equipment before AND after you use it. Be sure to take advantage of cleaning products and anti-bacterial wipes your gym provides.
*Use a towel or other clothing as a barrier between yourself and surfaces in the sauna.
*Shower and change your clothes as soon as you are finished working out.
*Cover any cuts or blisters with a band-aid.
*Don't share towels, ointments, etc. with others.
*Wash your hands (please!).
*Get regularly checked for subluxations and adjusted by your chiropractor.
