From Your Personal Trainer

 

 

 

1. Always keep control of the weight when doing strength exercises.

2. Never bounce on exercise movements, especially stretching movements (ballistic movements).

3. Focus on (visualize) the muscle as it's being worked.

4. Try to relax all other muscles that aren't being worked, at that time.

5. Always keep back straight in all exercises (shoulders back).

6. Always remember to breathe when exercising, use your breathing to help you. Breathe out on the positive (pushing weight up), and breathe in on the negative (pushing or pulling weight down) part of the exercise.

7. Drink your water, at least 8-10 8 ounce glasses.

8. Never stay in the gym when you really don't want to be there. If you have to, just leave for the day.
