Good form should feel stable and controlled. Compare your movement to our videos and cues. Our instructors can also review your form in personal coaching sessions or during group classes. Film yourself if possible—seeing your movement helps identify issues.
Pain is a signal to stop that movement. Sharp pain means stop immediately. Discomfort with a new exercise is normal, but genuine pain is not. We can suggest modifications or alternative exercises. For persistent pain, consult healthcare providers.
You're ready to progress when: (1) you can perform the current level with perfect form for the prescribed reps/sets, (2) the exercise feels controlled and stable, (3) you've practiced for at least 2-3 weeks. Progression is about quality, not speed.
