Your starting position can make or break the effectiveness of an exercise as well as keep you injury free.
In this video I’ll explain why that’s the case and also how to think about your position as you get ready for an exercise whether you are standing, sitting or even lying on the ground.
It is our pleasure to recognize Pavneet Mavi as our Client of the Month. Pavneet has been a member of Castro Valley Fitness for over a year.
The initial concentration on his core has improved his posture and he has had less back and neck pain. He has never lifted as much weight before – he’s found a new strength he didn’t know he had. He also finished a full marathon!
He enjoys the smaller environment of CVF with a friendly group of people – “it’s like a family”. The acknowledgment when you walk in the door and the way others cheer you on make it a fun place to work out.
He recommends that once you get in the door and go through your workout, your whole perspective can change – you are more positive and you move better. He also suggests that you challenge your comfort level whether it is with a new exercise or more weight.
His ultimate gym goal is to do three pull ups without the assistance of a band.
The three words that best describe his experience at CVF are “friendly, welcoming and challenging.”
