Little Things...

I know you have heard this before, but maybe not in regards to working out, little things do mean a lot.

So many times I work with a person who has never been with a personal trainer and they are amazed at how many little things there are to do in an exercise that can make all the difference in how it feels and what type of result they can get. Where we place our hands or how we move our feet, breathing in and out at the wrong time, good posture, all can make a big difference to the success in whatever particular exercise we are doing in the gym.

For the most part we can all be successful engaging in a consistent program of exercise doing basics movements, but as you get more used to what you are doing, you try more weight or more exercises and strive to improve and that is a good thing, however just doing more isn’t always better. Taking the time to learn some finer points to movements you already perform can change your workout and results and re-energize a stagnate routine.

Bear in mind it is wise to get some help when you get to a point in your exercise routine where you just are not sure what to do or how to do it better. You can always find people at the gym, who think they have all the answers, but I would strongly suggest checking with a fitness professional to find out what little things you could do with your form and routine that could make big differences in your fitness level.
