One of the best reasons
to have a trainer is that good trainers pay attention to form. When we work out, we are hot and sweaty. We get tired and our brains get fuzzy. Having someone else there to notice that it’s
time to shift to a lighter weight so we don’t make weird body compensations or
to suggest that our knees will be happier in the long term if we can manage to
keep them in line with our toes can make the difference between progress and
injury.
Yes, we can tune into
those things ourselves. Yes, we can use
a mirror or an observant friend for help.
Yes, we want to build our own proprioception.
But it’s easier with a
trained eye on us. We may not know or
notice that we habitually hold our heads slightly tilted to the right, or that
our left hip tends to hike up more often than our right one.
Try it out. It could be fun and useful!
