I heard this quote on @foundmyfitness podcast with Stuart Phillips, Ph.D. and it had such a profound effect on me:⁣ ⁣ The biggest reduction in risk is always going from nothing to doing something.⁣ ⁣ Many of you have asked me where to begin, and for me, it was in the living room with a pack of resistance bands and light weights to get my form right and feel comfortable with the movements I’d eventually bring to the gym.⁣ ⁣ Start where you are and keep it simple, pick 3-4 exercises you know you can nail the form of (squats, curls, shoulder press, etc) and practice practice practice! ⁣ ⁣ Watch YouTube demonstrations of form, ask a friend or family member to help correct you, go SLOW, and focus on the mind-muscle connection to isolate the muscle you’re targeting.⁣ ⁣ Nick and @thefunctionalnutritionist are constantly helping me improve my form because I have a long way to go. If 1:1 guidance isn’t feasible, you can also download an app or buy a one-time program from an online trainer where you’re assigned specific moves each week and shown demonstrations of proper execution.⁣ ⁣ Recycle the same moves each session to perfect them, and progressively challenge the muscles you want to work by slowly increasing weight... instead of always trying new things or thinking you need to overcomplicate. ⁣ ⁣ 6 slow and controlled reps are better than 12 quick ones where you’re using momentum just to get it done, rather than being in full control of the tension BOTH directions (ie push and pull, up and down).⁣ ⁣ But the most important thing is that you simply do something — because the reduction in risk that SOMETHING provides is better than any supplement you’ll ever see. And the beauty of exercise, is that no one can do it for you.⁣ ⁣ ❤️👏🏼✨🫶🏼
