The first time I set foot in a gym, I was perplexed by the mirror gazers.
They were the men and women lifting weights in front of the wall-to-ceiling mirrors.
I thought it was a vanity thing, and it made me feel all sorts of uncomfortable.
It wasn’t until my Personal Trainer spotted my poor lifting technique, and recommended I look in the mirror to ensure every repetition is performed safely, that I understood the purpose of the mirror.
It’s there to correct. To reveal weakness. To prevent injury.
The mirror isn’t there for vanity, it’s there for form.
