Manage Yourself as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant
“Manage yourself” is the mantra of my trainer Jerome. In the middle of a set of chest presses he’ll say “Vickie, manage yourself.” He’s not asking for much – just for me to engage my core, abs and glutes, pin my shoulder blades to the bench and press with my chest, not my arms. Jerome is an awesome trainer, but whenever I hear those two simple words, one fact is clear: he’s the trainer and I’m the one pushing the barbell off my chest. He can’t contract my glutes for me and he can’t activate my chest muscles. That’s my job.
