Tow weeks now you are saving me every day in the gym and I'm getting more comfortable each time thank you so much ❤

[@naomikong]

Just tried this machine for the first time! Wooo… I was scared lifting that bar with no weights since I am not so strong at lifting but I have it my best. I didn’t go as low as I wanted to but the safety mod definitely gave the confidence to try without feeling like I’m gonna hurt myself. Thanks for all the tips! I’m on day two of the beginners guide and I’m enjoying it!

Newbie here, at 4:53 you say "maintaining a neutral spine and utilizing a posterior pelvic tilt", but isn't a posterior pelvic tilt (aka a "butt wink" right?) bad? Thank you! Btw this video has been really really helpful.

[@naomikong]

Happy to help! ☺️ The butt wink you’re referring to is actually called an “anterior pelvic tilt” where the booty is popped out! Whereas with a “posterior pelvic tilt”, the booty is tucked forward like a dog tucking its tail between its legs (for simple explanations). The terms are pretty close in name so it’s easy to get mixed up! 😩 Hope this helps! ✨ Feel free to DM me on Instagram (@naomi.kong) with any fitness-related questions you have! Here to help. 🙌🏼 🌮P.S. I have a recipe ebook that you can download for free if you need some good meal ideas! ☺️ Check it out here: naomikong.com

How do you prevent lower back pain on the smith machine? I follow these steps but I still feel discomfort. What am I doing wrong?

[@theartfuldodger81]

You may need to shift your weight to your heels instead of more towards the balls of your feet. Lean back against the bar as you squat down. I hope that helps.

[@victoriagika1192]

You can use a belt

[@cindylouwho22]

Is it possible to do lunges on the smith machine?

[@victoriagika1192]

Yes

[@coriecolliton6366]

My gym only has the smith machine that is angled (like one to the left of the machine Naomi uses in video). Can you squat on that type of smith machine? It always felt uncomfortable to me.

[@naomikong]

Yes, you definitely can! Which one you should use/is better for you will ultimately depend on your body mechanics and the exercise you’re doing, but I don’t find that the two types are different enough to make a significant difference for most people! 🙌🏼

[@howarddodge772]

i love your red leggings

[@marciakarlsson98]

So much talk!!!!!

[@jordanipinnock3689]

How about being In the gym and wanting to quickly learn how to do this but she went on to discuss how to put weights on the thing 😂waste of time
