After much deliberation and debate, several gyms across the nation have finally received the green signal to restart operations. Now, this might come as a happy piece of news to some, and be greeted by heavy reluctance on the part of others, both of which are entirely understandable. But in any case, if you do decide to pay your gym a visit during this pandemic, we're sure you'd want to be as safe as possible.

From thermal screening to oximeters, there are a number of precautions gym owners are putting in place. But as the threat of the virus continues to loom in the air, relying on others to ensure your safety isn't the best bet. Instead, it needs to be a two-way exercise, with you taking equal, if not more, preventive measures to protect yourself.

But before you try and Google search your way through this ordeal, take a look down below once. For we have rounded up 10 important precautionary steps you should bear in mind while working out in the gym during COVID-19, all in one place!

1. Wear a Mask Throughout your Workout

First off, if you're expecting your gym experience to be exactly how it was before this pandemic started, please reset your expectations. You need to wear a mask throughout, from the time you leave your house, to the point you reach back. You need to have your own bottle of sanitiser on you at all times. Avoid using the shower at the gym, and just tolerate the sweat till you can use your own bathroom. Carry your own water bottle and towel, which you must not share with anybody whatsoever, and practice social distancing to the maximum possible extent.
