To Form or not to form that is the questionm

In my many years, on and off again, workout at the gym, the one thing that I have taken away from this lifelong obsession and experience is: you must have good form, good form trumps good fashion in almost everything you do.whether your workout is light, or heavy, if you do not have good form, you may experience muscle trauma, muscle rips, lesser results and possible injury. 

What sparked this blog entry was a man that I saw at the gym this morning, who I've seen many days prior, now I called him the happy man because every time I see him work out, it makes me smile and laugh. Now I don't claim to be a workout guru or a major trainer but this man is the type that you would see caught on tape and posted YouTube as things not to do. If I wasn't afraid of being sued, I would video him and attach them to this blog. Every exercise that I do in my workout, has a precise and proper way to do it so that you get maximum effect with minimum damage to the muscles and tissues and bone. The reason why I have studied form is because I have arthritis, in my hands, my feet, my lower back, and my neck, so it is extremely important to me that I have proper form, so for me, with my injuries and my arthritis form is a necessity for good living, and good health. So just remember Mr. happy man when you're at the gym and you start liking on your form or you want to take a shortcut to that exercise, think of him

Push me now

My workout partner John and I go to the gym faithfully five times a week… I found a workout partner that pushes me, inspires me, and he's kind of cute too!I find that getting older, it is harder, and harder to get inspiration on my own… I just turned 47 this year and I want to look like I'm 37. Vanity is definitely a big part of the reason why I am going to the gym. For many years I abuse my body with drugs and now I'm giving it back!
