What is good form? Here are five questions to ask to check form:
1. What are my abs doing? They should be engaged.
2. Are my joints lined up? Knees should align with ankles, for example.
3. Are my shoulders out of my ears? This is a particularly good question to ask when lifting things overhead.
4. Am I using the right amount of effort? Too much is as bad as too little. Sometimes body parts we are not trying to work keep “helping” us, which just makes us tired and tense.
5. Am I breathing? Holding the breath is not useful.
