As an author, speaker, and certified personal trainer (and x gym owner), I like to give small easily consumable fitness tips! Sometimes it's not always what you think. There is a lot of misinformation out there!! It's hard sometimes to weed through it all.
This fit tip is simple, don't push through pain. Most people think the old things like, 'no pain no gain'. But, sometimes we are doing more harm than good! When we risk injury, we risk losing everything we've worked hard to do. When I talk about controlling the weight in this video, the best way to know if you have control of the weight is to actually slow down your movement. If you can't lift it going slow, it's too heavy.
Video Transcript: Hi, this is very important. Exercise isn't about pushing through when you have pain, especially joint pain. Shoulders, elbows, knees, things like that, ankles.
We want to learn to listen to our own body. The best way to do exercise is to do it properly, with proper form. We would rather see you actually lower the weight a little lower and control the weight rather than risk injury.
