It's not vain to use the mirror at the gym!!

Honestly, one of the most underutilised pieces of equipment in the gym is the mirror!!  Yep, it is not there for helping you take that gym selfie, it is a tool to help you monitor your form when performing an exercise.  Now that I have been lifting more weights this year, I have DEFINITELY noticed that I have a weaker side - whether that's my left arm during a chest press or right leg during a leg press...we all have imbalances! The tip to improving imbalances is to focus on strengthening the weaker side first and I like to do this by splitting the body and working out unilaterally -  focusing on one side at a time.  

So for this month's fitness challenge, we are going to be doing exactly that!  Now from the printable you can see that there are 7 moves.  The goal is to work your left and right side two times each each.  You have one minute on the clock per exercise, so really take your time to focus on the movement and if you have a mirror to hand - USE IT to keep an eye on your form.  NO it is not vain - even in the gym environment the mirror is to be used for helping to reduce your risk of injury.  So if things are not feeling right, in the words of  Michael Jackson  "take a look at yourself and make that change"
