Do What’s Right for YOU
Many health and fitness programs are impersonal; that is, they base their advice and recommendations on the success of one person, one desired goal, or one experience level. Yet what has worked for one person to lose weight may not work for another. Each of us needs to implement a program that is right for us, one that recognizes our goals and is specifically developed for the equipment we have available. It needs to take any special limitations into account and be realistic for our level of experience and for the time we can commit. There’s no sense in doing what your buddy did to lose weight when your fitness level, personal preferences, time and equipment availability, etc, are all very different. You need to follow a plan that’s specific to you and realistic enough for you to follow and enjoy in the long-run.

This is just one of the reasons our members lose weight and get such excellent results with our customized exercise programs; they are not only very effective, but we can personally modify them so they are perfect for each individual. This is very important!

Lift Slowly
One of the most important elements in weightlifting is exercise speed. Speed plays a major role in the incidence of injury as well as strength and muscle development. Fast lifting creates momentum and doesn't promote blood flow to the muscle. Slow movement creates less momentum and less internal muscle friction. Not only does slow lifting require a more even application of muscle power throughout the movement range, it actually promotes rapid blood flow into the specific muscle you are training.

If you find that the weight is so heavy that you cannot come back slowly in full control of the movement, you should lighten the weight until you can. Many people pay far too much attention to the quantity or weight of the lift and not the quality of the movement performed. Your muscles cannot know how much weight is on the bar or machine, but they will respond very well when you are using good, controlled form and come back slowly with resistance.
