Why is it important to take care of your form while lifting ?
First of all , to avoid injuries. We all want to come back to the gym , the next day , or at least , the next week. Ignoring the form might result in serious injuries , thereby hindering your workout and affecting your day to day life !
Another reason is to make sure that the workout hits the right place.
For most of the workouts , you will have to keep your knees soft and tighten your abs.
For example , if you are doing alternate biceps curl , the slight bend on your elbow , makes sure there is no strain at the wrong place. Also , only then you would feel the workout in your biceps.
Keeping a track of your posture while doing workout for the abs is very crucial as otherwise , you might end up hurting your back !
Also , remember about breathing properly while doing the workout. A thumb rule , breathe out while working out against gravity and breathe in while working out along with gravity.
I see a lot of people getting membership at the gym and just going there without knowing which exercise is for which muscle . Only if you understand the target muscle of the workout , you can focus on the target or inform the trainer if you are not able to feel the workout at the right place.
Don't hesitate to ask your trainer about the workout.
If you focus on a couple of small details , it will help you to get toned and avoid injuries.
Be fit ! Be strong!
