It’s not funny but I admit this headline and graphic did make me laugh. Injuries from at-home workouts increased 48% during the pandemic.
It stands to reason. Inexperienced people should not be left to their own devices with hard-core equipment. Treadmills and stationary bikes accounted for 37% of the injuries but people went to the hospital for push-ups and stretches gone wrong too.
