Getting the most out of your reps

These are some personal trainer foundations to help get the most out of your workouts and each rep.

We will break down how each exercise you have ever done, can be broken down into 3 parts and used to your advantage.

Part No. 1 - Concentric part of the movement - where you are actually doing the lift of the weight and movement. 

Part No. 2 - Less talked about and glorified- Isometric! The moment and split second pause when you change direction.

Part No. 3 - Eccentric part of the movement. Control against gravity and keeping the tension to manage the load, which will give you a greater benefit vs just running through reps. 

When you feel you are getting too strong for the weights you have at home, you need to slow your movements down. That is what is going to challenge you and give you a better workout with each rep. This applies to any movement. 

Take your time to really feel each part of every movement! You may be surprised how heavy 10 lbs can actually feel.
