4 Ways to Burn Even More Calories in Your WorkoutIn regards to safety, and we hear this a lot - form is everything. We talked to personal trainer Kyle Panela earlier this year,who emphasized the importance of having solid form before taking on any modern or challenging group fitness lesson. "People gather damage all the time . . . particularly when they don't have experience with mobility or strength training," he said.
Ruth encourages you to take classes in which your instructor or trainer will teach and enforce good form - and also one that lets you track your progress!Whether you're going on timing, or pace,RPMs (rotations per minute), or heart rate, and it's important to log your information so you can see how hard you're working and where you can improve. Looking back at data is also an incredible confidence booster. From personal experience,I like looking at my running data from two years ago and comparing it to where I am now in terms of pace, distance, or even the qualitative data of how I felt on my runs.
You can track your progress on your own or do so in lesson with the studio's data (like at Flywheel! And Orangetheory,too), but originate sure you're staying safe! fade at your own pace, or don't getting so competitive that you damage yourself or risk injury. maintain those two things as your golden rules and guard rails,and you'll be on fire!
