Exercise of the Month - March 2010: “Visual cues”
What’s the one piece of equipment that virtually every fitness center has plenty of? No, it’s not exercise bikes or squat racks. Still can’t decide? Mirrors! It’s one thing for a trainer to provide verbal/auditory cues regarding movement technique, but it’s often visual cues that people respond to the most. For example, when performing split squat variations, it’s important to get a visual idea of your shin angle, thus improving the quality of strength development. Sure, the “meatheads” may like the mirrors to flex, but you know why they're really there- to provide visual feedback on exercise technique.
