Okay! Be careful not to bang your knees. Straighten them just enough; flatten your back; exhale, pull; inhale, resist. Exhale, pull quick! Inhale, resist.

As a quick note about technique: Make sure you’re initiating from your back and following through with your elbows. Sometimes you’ll see someone initiating with their hands and then squeezing backward. What I would like you to do instead is to start from the back, and then follow through with the hands.

What to Expect from a Personal Trainer

Personal training is not about perfection—it’s about getting started. A good trainer meets you where you are. They’ll modify movements, scale intensity, and guide you with patience. Worried about being judged? You won’t be. Trainers work with all types of people: beginners, older adults, people with injuries, and those just starting their fitness journey. Everyone starts somewhere. Your first session is a fresh start, not a finish line.

Jack Kirven is a mobile personal trainer in Charlotte, NC. He is the owner of INTEGRE8T Wellness.
