Burn More Fat & Get Flat Abs!!



Q: Hi Ryan, my question is what are the most common errors you see people doing in the gym while exercising?

A: #1 would be poor posture while using cardio machines. An example of poor posture is a shoulder hunched forward position while on a elipticial trainer or a stair climber. Our body shapes the way we exercise it. A swimmer has a long lean body because they stretch and streamline there bodies during the stroke. If you spend 45 min doing a repetitive motion with bad posture, your body will strengthen in that form. Prevent this by lengthening the spine, keeping the shoulders back and standing tall during use of the bike, treadmill, stiarclimber or the elliptical cardio machines. There are many more benefits of keeping the spine long during cardio such as increased fat burning.
