Fitness Tip #10: Form Checklist
I sound like a broken record sometimes. It's a good record repeating tips to keep in mind while performing certain exercises. Most of these are pretty common phrases you will hear personal trainers and coaches repeating over and over:
"Chest Up or Proud Chest"- while performing squats, lunges, deadlifts
"Weight on Heels"- also while performing squats, steps ups
"Push the Ground Away"- during deadlifts
"Chin Off Chest"- during abdominal exercises
"Pull Through Your Heel of Front Foot"- while performing Val Slide/Frisbee reverse lunges
"Full Extension to Chin Over Bar"- during chin ups and pull ups
"Don't Spill the Cup of Water"- during stability ball knee ins
"Hips Up"- during stability ball leg curls
"Tight, Head to Toe"- during planks
Keep these phrases going through your mind while working out. They will help you keep your body in proper alignment and firing the right muscles.
