In small group fitness training or boot camp classes, people can inspire each other to increase the pace of the workouts and push themselves. However, this is not always good for them. Form, tempo, and weight are all important. When going at a really fast pace, you may not have the right form or be at the right weight. There is the misconception that fast-paced workouts mean you are working hard and you’ll achieve better results sooner. Your coach will determine the tempo of your workouts depending on the goals you want to achieve. The best thing here is to take the advice of your coach and ask questions when something is not clear. Moving at the right pace helps build the mind-muscle connection. The right paces allow you to listen to your body and feel the muscles you are working on. Resist the temptation to go on a super-fast pace and take the cue of your coach. Even if you are in a group training setting, go at your own pace. Tune in to this episode and learn why focusing on form is more important than tempo.
