1. Stop Exercising Immediately: Cease any exercise or activity as soon as you feel pain or suspect an injury.

2. Assess the Injury: Evaluate the severity of the injury. Determine if it's minor or requires immediate medical attention.

3. RICE Method:
- **Rest**: Allow the injured area to rest and recover, avoiding any movements that worsen the injury.
- Ice: Apply an ice pack for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours during the first 48 hours to reduce swelling and pain.
- Compression: Use a compression bandage to minimize swelling and provide support.
- Elevation: Elevate the injured area above heart level to reduce swelling.

4. Seek Medical Attention: Consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if the injury is severe or uncertain.

5. Follow Medical Advice: Adhere to the guidance provided by your healthcare provider, which may include medications, physical therapy, or specific exercises.

6. Modify Your Training: Work with a fitness professional or physical therapist to adapt your workout routine to avoid aggravating the injury.

7. Maintain Mobility: If appropriate, perform gentle mobility exercises for the uninjured areas to prevent stiffness and muscle imbalances.

8. Patience and Gradual Return: Allow adequate time for a full recovery, and reintroduce your regular exercise routine gradually, under professional guidance.
