About Christina Hamler

I became a certified personal trainer through The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and Super Slow, a specialized strength training program.

You’ve been told that failing is a bad thing. I’m here to tell you it’s just the opposite. That is, when we’re talking about muscle failure. Do you strength train? Are you working to failure on every exercise? I’m challenging you to give SuperSlow a try. www.enlightenedexercise.com
