Hold on…?

One half of a title song by Sam & Dave(1966)! Yes, but we’re talking fitness matters right? Well, a common sight in the club is folks ‘holding on to’ (in some cases even balancing their entire body weight)  the hand rails on the cardio machines.  Obviously, if you have a balance problem when you walk, then you should use these rails to prevent a fall.  However, those of you who can navigate properly, take note:  you can loose up to 50% efficacy in your workout if you support your weight by these rails! So, if you can, ‘let go’! Your workout will be more challenging, more effective and you can be more efficient.  We’ll be watchin’ ya’!
