If you're doing weights and you're trying to target a certain muscle but you can't feel that muscle engaging then stop that exercise and find an isolation exercise in order to activate that desired muscle. For example if I'm trying to work on my glutes aka "Booty" but can only feel the burn in my quads then there is no point continuing that exercise, I would stop that exercise and go and do a glute bridge to activate your booty then i'd go back to that exercise.
2. Fast verser slow reps When I do my reps I like to do them slow and really focus on the muscle i'm working and when I get to the top I will squeeze that muscle as hard as I can until I shake
3. Dont count - I'm so guilty of this I pick a number and like to stop when I reach that number. The best thing you can do if you are a counter like me is start counting when you feel that muscle burning
4. Correct Posture is so important!! If you had a look at my before photos you will see how bad my posture is which is due to me braking my back in a very bad car accident. Make sure you have a look in the mirror or get a professional to check your posture so you can see what areas may need extra attention other wise you may run the risk of injury.
5. Try out classes!! It's important to change up your training to shock your body and fire different messages to different muscles. I do everything from weights, cardio, Pilates, Yoga, Cx workout and kickboxing
