There’s no doubt that exercise is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your mind and body. There are so many different ways to get physical activity in and I encourage you to try it all! You never know you might fall in love with something you’d never have imagined. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is something we should all do from time to time. Whether you’ve been exercising consistently, you’re a beginner who’s just getting started, or maybe you’re getting back on track from some time off the quality of exercise is more important than the quantity. We hear phrases like “go hard or go home” and while yes you should give your workouts one hundred percent, you should never sacrifice form and risk injury. As a personal trainer I have seen so many people sustain injuries from pushing themselves too hard while working out. I especially see this happening in group settings. Don’t worry about keeping up with the class. Work at your own pace and do what feels right for your body. Proper form not only prevents injuries but it maximizes your results. I’m going to tell you how to avoid this and get the most out of your workouts.
