When it comes to physical activity, one of the most important aspects, besides choosing the right exercises, is performing them correctly. Regardless of your training level, whether you're a beginner or experienced, ensuring that you're doing the movements properly is essential to avoid injuries and optimize results.

Benefits of correct exercise execution
- Injury prevention: poor posture or using inappropriate weights during exercise can cause muscle or joint injuries. Maintaining proper posture and respecting your body's limits is essential for safe training.
- Improved performance: proper execution ensures you're working the correct muscles. This helps improve performance over time, as your body responds more efficiently to the effort.
- Optimized results: when you perform movements correctly, the muscles are activated more effectively, providing faster and more visible results. In other words, you make better use of your training time and reach your goals more efficiently.

Tips for perfect execution
- Know your body: understanding your limits is crucial. Never push beyond what you can handle.
- Seek guidance: to ensure proper execution, consult qualified professionals, such as gym instructors or personal trainers.
- Respect posture: keep your posture aligned during exercises. This includes keeping your back straight, knees slightly bent, and engaging your core (abdomen) whenever possible.
- Start with light weights: for beginners or when learning a new movement, it's always recommended to start with light weights to master the technique before increasing the load.
