Good Form

Good form This episode is all about good form in the gym. I asked followers what they wanted to hear, so this is a response to followers’ questions! When you’re learning basic strength movements, hop on YouTube and check out some pros teach the movements you are interested in learning. Now there are many people out there who will have some great tips, I’m partial to Juggernaut trainers or my simple videos. But Jean, how do we know we are doing it right??? You can bring the videos with you to the gym and watch it until you are comfortable. I highly recommend filming yourself from many angles in order to get perspective of your body and squats. Then compare your video to the movement of professionals. Mirrors are helpful if you start with no weight, but once you load weight the best way to see form is to record yourself. Get a trainer. This will help you learn the movement from someone who is educated and useful. Try to choose someone who is well-seasoned or has credibility in strength training. Here’s your challenge: if you are struggling to know you are doing your movements correctly. Record yourself and post it our page and Pam or I will critique your form in a productive way! Until next time… peace!
