If you’re an exercise junkie or do back-to-back workouts, don’t be surprised if you have back issues.

Shoulder and knee injuries are also fair game.

Here’s how to prevent the most common workout injuries.

Let’s start with shoulder injuries.

Rotator cuff injuries are some of most common exercise-related injuries people go to an orthopedist for, according to a sports doctor NBC News spoke with.

A pro tip is to let the muscles and tendons heal between workouts.

Not getting enough rest can strain the rotator cuff and cause inflammation and injury.

Make sure the weight isn’t too heavy otherwise you’ll pull your shoulder.

It’s a good idea to start lighter and work your way up.

Poor technique and form and working out with weights that are too heavy only lead to low back issues.

Treatment varies depending on how severe it is.

Think pain relievers, physical therapy, back injections or even surgery.

Never twist or turn when lifting heavy objects, and squat down and lift from the legs – don’t bend over at the hip.

A meniscus injury is what’s giving you knee pain.

It’s pretty much a shock absorber for the knee, and intense workouts sometimes make things worse.

It might sound obvious, but Everyday Health suggests wearing proper shoes.

If they look good, but don’t give you proper support, reach for another pair.

Warm up and stretch muscles in the front and back of your thighs to relieve pressure on the knees.

The treadmill can leave you knees screaming.

Do low-impact exercises at the gym like a rowing machine.

Instead of going harder than you’re used to, gradually build up intensity to avoid knee pain.
