A more helpful form of motivation is one that asks us to get curious about our bodies: “What does it feel like if you get lower in your squat? Do you feel it more in your butt or less?” If you heard this in class, you might be tempted to test your range of motion and determine what squat height is right for you.
I think what I like about PT is that I’m focusing on what muscles I’m using and constantly checking in to make sure I’m feeling things in the right body parts. Because if I’m supposed to be working on my abs but my legs feel like they’re burning, that usually means I’m doing something wrong or the exercise itself needs to be modified.
