Posture is key

When performing resistance exercises many times I see people using poor form while lifting weights. The main reason behind this is that one could be using too heavy of a load, or their core is not ready for the exercise. It is crucial to gain core strength before lifting in order to not place excess stress on the lumbar spine, or lower back. Next time you exercise, don’t use weights that are too heavy for you. Instead lighten the load and concentrate on posture. This way you will avoid injury and have a more effective workout.
