"rosie readandpost" wrote in message ... http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/diet.....ap/index.html There are no mirrors at my gym. I do have full mirrored closet doors in the exercise room at home but find they only time I ever used them was to check my form on certain exercises. I have the VCR on the opposite wall from the mirrors so I usually have my back to them. Beverly |

The last line in the article summed it up. Mirrors are a necessary evil in a
gym where weight lifting or classes like Pilates is going on. Mirrors allow for form to be monitored. I don't know why any gym would put them in the cardio machine rooms. Who would want to watch themselves walk in place on a treadmill? "rosie readandpost" wrote in message ... http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/diet....ise.ap/index.h tml |

Um...I don't think so. I know Chris's and my coach has us lift towards a
mirror so we can watch our form. I also use the mirror when squatting or doing good mornings to check on my form. I have a nasty habit of letting my shoulders roll or letting my head move with effort. If I look myself dead in the eye, while I don't like seeing that little vein that throbs on my forehead, I do tend to keep my head still and my form better. Elise (however, I do get a kick out of the guys that watch themselves doing bicep curls...not their back or their form...just gazing fondly at their huge rippling muscles.)
