4 keys to improving your workouts

Here are a few things to think about your next workout. Couple simple things to make a workout more effective.

1. Technique- This stems from good posture and proper joint alignment.
Head up, shoulders down and back, belly button in, and glutes tight.

2. Breathing- Your breaths should be smooth and even. Inhale on your eccentric phase (when the muscle is being lengthened under tension) of the motion.
Exhale during exertion of force on the concentric phase of motion.
(the shortening or contraction of the muscle under tension)

3. Rate of speed- Your first rep sets the pace for your sets. Even and controlled.
Simply put move with intent. Be sure that your are moving the weight
and that it does not move you.

4. Range of Motion- Working through a full range of motion allows you to recruit more of the muscles fibers during the movement. Each muscle has it's own range
of motion. You can isolate a certain muscle or group by staying within
its individual range of motion.
