The quality of form avoids strain... (sorry, Mr. Shakespeare...)


We’ve made it a couple of weeks into the new year.  I hope we are all persisting in building our new habits or continuing to work our previous good habits.

At first, when we start working out, the very most important thing is to show up.  What we do and how we do it are far less crucial than just getting it done.  Of course, that’s just the beginning.

Once we are used to doing the work, we have to start paying attention to the quality of that work.  There are good reasons for this, including not getting injured and using time effectively.  Something will certainly happen if we wave weights around at random, but it may not be what we actually want.  Paying attention to where our joints are, which muscles are working, and where the challenging bits are can make our workouts safer and our bodies stronger and cuter.


We can do this.
