Posted: 13 Nov 2015 09:27 AM PST  If you want to get strong in the gym, avoid unnecessary sports related injury or become more efficient at a particular sport you must make an effort to learn correct exercise techniques. Often in the gym, people will choose an exercise because it looks good or they watched someone else doing it. The problem is they don't know if they are doing an exercise correctly until someone points it out or they get injured. Related Article: Fitness makeover: 6 Steps to get fit now! Using poor or improper exercise technique can increase the risk of injury, especially if you are lifting weights as part of your routine. Lifting weight places enormous stress on your body and exercise technique is specifically designed so that you can move the weight safely. If your technique falters, you place unnecessary stress on areas of the body, such as your back, shoulders and knees. When you work out at the gym, the exercises you choose are not supposed to simply just make you look good. Each exercise has a purpose and trains a specific muscle, or group of muscles. In order to get the most out of each exercise, it's essential that you do it using correct form. If you make an effort to learn how to exercise effectively, it will ensure that you safely gain the full benefits of your strength-training program while staying safe in the gym Here are some tips to help you perfect your form: Use a Mirror Watch yourself as you perform an exercise. Check to make sure you are balanced and not favoring one side. Adjust as needed. Watch Videos Know what an exercise is supposed to look like before you try it. You can hire a trainer to show you or read a book. Take It Slowly Exercise progression, especially when it comes to volume and intensity, is one of the biggest traps in which to fall. More is not necessarily always best. Push yourself during your workout, but listen to your body and know when to slow down a little. Try to maintain a set intensity level for a few weeks. When it becomes comfortable, that's your sign that it's time to progress to the next level. Doing too much too soon will make you develop bad form. Not Too Heavy Don't feel pressured into lifting a weight that's too heavy for you. A good way to tell if a weight is too heavy is to listen to your body. If you can't move it in a smooth, non-jerky motion, maintain good form, or you feel the need to hold your breath, that's a good indication that you need to downsize your weight. I'm a huge fan of lifting weights, but you must master movement patterns without weight before loading up the plates. Exercise should never be painful, so if you feel pain there is a good chance that your form is bad. Stop right away and adjust your body as necessary to do the exercise correctly. If there is still pain, avoid that exercise entirely. The next time you are in the gym, take a moment to assess how you look and feel as you do your routine. Movement is something that we are naturally designed to do, so all movements should feel somewhat comfortable. Have fun and make sure you are getting the most out of each and every session.
