Why Form is Important During Exercise

There are few things more important while exercising than form. Let’s define what I mean by form before we move forward. When we exercise there are several things we want to keep in mind. I always tell my clients to keep their core tight during all exercises. When we tighten our abdominal muscles we help to protect our spine from injury. Almost all exercises have a specific body positioning that is optimal for targeting certain muscles or muscle groups. Most importantly, form helps us to prevent injuries. 

Another example, is when I have my clients pull their shoulder blades back while doing overhead exercises. This is because there is a very small space in between the bones of your shoulder. When you pull your shoulders back you help relieve some of the space issues at the front of your shoulder. Ligaments, nerves, arteries, tendons, bursa, and muscles of the shoulder can get impinged, or irritated from improper shoulder motion and posture. Having a trained professional teach you proper form can save you from injuries and help you get the best outcomes from your workout.

Every pivot towards good health is a step in the right direction, no matter how big or how small. Please call to schedule your complimentary initial consultation and sample 1 on 1 training session.
