헬스장 한 번 안 가본 완전 초보였는데 가슴 운동을 어디서부터 시작해야 할지 막막했어요. 이 강의는 푸시업 자세부터 손 너비, 팔꿈치 각도까지 하나하나 짚어줘서 따라 하기가 정말 쉬웠습니다. 특히 어깨가 아니라 가슴 근육에 제대로 힘이 들어가는 느낌을 잡는 법을 배운 게 큰 수확이었어요. 초보가 흔히 하는 실수도 미리 짚어줘서 부상 걱정 없이 운동할 수 있었고요. 몇 주 만에 가슴 라인이 잡히기 시작해서 동기부여가 확 됐습니다. 운동을 처음 시작하는 분께 자신 있게 추천해요.

একদম শুরু থেকে বুকের পেশির ব্যায়াম শিখলাম, পুশ-আপের সঠিক ফর্মটা দারুণভাবে বুঝিয়েছে, তবে আরেকটু ভিন্নতা চাইছিলাম।

Un ottimo punto di partenza per chi vuole allenare il petto senza commettere errori di postura. Gli esercizi fondamentali sono spiegati con attenzione ai dettagli tecnici, tipo la posizione delle scapole durante le distensioni. Dopo qualche settimana ho notato più controllo nei movimenti anche senza pesi pesanti.
