Jim Diet.

Having a post-sweat dopamine high from the Jim might keep others slim – though perhaps not as fun as some other highs these are very real. As is the evidence of the toning and tightening right the way true the entire body. On a recent shopping trip, the sales assistant in the changing room tells me the dress looks too large and I should opt for a size down (I almost kissed myself!) Of course, I am still struggling with press ups and I huff and puff my way through single leg glutei raises, but every weight is being increased (a good sign of progress I’m assured) and I can now do reverse lunges without holding onto support – or, my remedial bars as I liked to call them. The experience is making me more convinced of the importance of exercise, and I know we are capable of more than we do.

Target training as a novice to Goblet squats, lunges and hamstring curls I’ve realized that it’s good to incorporate exercises into your routine that you don't like or are afraid you can't do. Usually when you feel that way about something, it's a sign that you're less proficient in that area. As my trainer says, doing this will make you stronger not only inside the gym but outside as well. Whereas I may have happily hopped at the back of exercise classes before, not quite sure of my footing or exactly what I should (or shouldn’t be doing), I am now learning that personal training at the Jim teaches you to be a perfectionist in a good way - always using a controlled, full range of motion, while maintaining good posture. Performing at the highest level of intensity isn't beneficial if you are hunched over the machine, gripping the guardrails, eyes closed. And my trainers always say six good reps are better than twelve so-so ones. This also applies to cardiovascular machines, like the Cross Trainer.
