So much so, that they shared with us their Grit Fit Tips for safety.Here are four Grit Miami Fit Tips that will have you ready for your first class at Grit Miami:Check Your Ego – It’s important to stay within your own comfort level when deciding how much weight you can efficiently move. Grit Miami’s coaches are always on the floor to help guide you on just how much load is appropriate for your fitness level.Form Matters – A challenging yet attainable rep scheme is key. Once fatigue sets in, your form may be compromised, and that’s when injury usually occurs.Slow Down – Not only is the frequency imperative, but the speed at which you perform any movement is equally important. A slower pace, in some cases, may prove to be more beneficial since it keeps you mindful of form and technique. Know Your Limits – Being mindful of your own limitations is pivotal, especially in a group setting. It may be easy to imitate others’ rep schemes or the amount of weight they are stacking on their bar. In the end, each person must be in tune with their body’s abilities at that moment.
