Today at the gym I was starting to do squats when the girl using the smith machine next to me pointed out that my foot placement wasn’t exactly right. She showed me the correct way to avoid injury, work different muscles, and correct way to stand for lunges too.  Since I am just starting out with weightlifting I will take all the help and pointers I can get! I was grateful for her assistance–it turned out that she just moved to this city from a town just south of where I grew up as well. What a small world! I’m so glad she was kind enough to offer the feedback.  She used to be a personal trainer and said she can’t stand to see people doing exercises the wrong way that could potentially injure them, so she speaks up when she sees it.  We went thru and did an entire leg workout after that and I felt like I was getting a free personal training session (well, I was basically) since she was so knowledgeable and gave me a lot of tips to increase my workout results. I also realized that I need to put more exercises into my leg workouts. :[  I am afraid of the pain in my a&@ and legs I will no doubt have by tomorrow :)
