This is a video library for my clients and anyone in need of seeing weight training exercises in action. Most of these link to my Instagram page, @fitgalmindy, where I’ve collected them in the gym over time. Please use them at your own discretion. I ask two things of you if you use my videos and tips for training ideas:
1. Focus on form and activating the prime mover to make the weight move, not how much load you can move
2. Chase the process….do this with consistency over lots of time. Give it years, not just months!
