Explanation

A proper exercise routine that includes warming up, stretching, and strengthening exercises helps protect your inner elbow. Begin your workout with gentle movements or light cardio to prepare your muscles. Follow this with specific forearm stretches to maintain flexibility and reduce elbow joint strain. Regular strengthening exercises targeting your wrist flexors and forearm muscles will build support around your elbow and enhance stability during activities. Proper technique is crucial—avoid repetitive motions that can overload your joints and lead to pain. Increase exercise intensity gradually to give your muscles and tendons time to adapt. Pay attention to your body's signals; if you experience discomfort, allow adequate rest and recovery time. These precautions will help prevent inner elbow pain during workouts while keeping exercise enjoyable and safe.
