[Gym Basics for Ages 60+] Is Your Machine Technique Cutting Your Results in Half? The Top 5 Common Mistakes
"I started going to the gym, but am I using this machine correctly?"
If you've ever wondered that, this is for you.
Many people think they are doing everything right, yet they may have habits that reduce the benefits of exercise or put extra stress on the joints.
In this video, we count down the "Top 5 Common Machine Mistakes" that gym beginners make, in a simple and friendly way.
▼ What's Inside
No. 5: Leg Curl (back of the thighs) ... Range of motion matters more than weight
No. 4: Seated Row (back) ... Keep your elbows close to your sides as you pull
No. 3: Lat Pulldown (back) ... Grip the bar evenly on both sides
No. 2: Leg Press (whole legs) ... Don't let your knees cave in
No. 1: Chest Press (chest) ... Raise the seat to set the handles at the right height
▼ Important Notes
・If your range of motion is limited, please do not push yourself.
・If you feel pain or uneasiness, ask an instructor or trainer to show you how to use the machine or to guide you.
・If you feel pain, we do not recommend using the machine that causes that movement. Choose machines you can use comfortably and build your strength from there.
・If you feel pain, numbness, or dizziness during exercise, stop right away.
・If you have a medical condition, please consult your doctor before you begin.
There is no need to compare your weight or speed with anyone else.
What matters is "a setup that fits your body, and correct form."
Next time you go to the gym, just pick one machine and take a fresh look at your seat position and your form.
