I can picture it right now, someone siting in a weight resistance exercise machine in an unsafe manner. It's funny how everyone who joins fitness centers thinks that just getting into a machine is as easy as it looks. There are many variables that must be considered before you start pushing or pulling weight resistance on a piece of gym equipment. If your seat or any other adjustment is not set to your particular height, you are asking for major problems like injuries, or even death.
Believe it or not, not being able to adjust the equipment the right way is why many of us don't use them. a properly adjusted machine will feel just that way, PROPER. Example: when you get in your car you adjust the seat to your comfort, not another person's. the same with weight resistance equipment, if your in it right your body will feel in alignment and you will be able to use the machine effectively to achieve results.
It's not rocket science, but it's the main thing standing in your way from either an effective workout or road to injuries.
Your body knows when your in the right anatomical position. Your muscles are suppose to work in certain positions and planes ( angles ). When you work in these positions, your muscles will get stronger faster, you will avoid problems, and you will see and feel results.
Please, take the time and invest in a trainer to educate on how to safely use equipment in your gym.
