Proper Exercise Technique

  • Keep it LIGHT
  • FOCUS on the movement of each particular muscle being utilized during each repetition
  • Use very STRICT form
  • 8-15 CONTROLLED repetitions
  • 45-60 seconds between sets
  • THINK about the working muscle TIGHTEN as you lift the weight (take 2-3 seconds), EXHALE through your mouth
  • If the muscle CONTRACTED at the top of the movement (hold for 2 seconds)
  • Think about the working muscle STRETCH as you lower the weight (take 3-4 seconds), INHALE through your nose
  • Think of exercise as a RELAXING experience and all of your goals will be reached

“I have been a client since 1999. Technique is critical to Jeff’s program and before long I saw tangible results and was amazed. I have never been in better shape in my life. Our 6am workouts are something I really look forward to, mostly because I trust Jeff’s professional knowledge, his genuine concern for my well-being and his constant encouragement to continue my fitness commitment and progress.”
