Fitness Tip 5 : All Things Equal

Everyone has the exercises they like doing and ones they don’t. And most people have a stronger side and a weaker side.

Whatever you do, don’t neglect to do the exercises you don’t like doing or do more reps on the side that’s stronger or more flexible.

You’ll end up out of balance. (Think Charles Atlas shoulders and Mr Bean legs!)

You have to strengthen and stretch all muscle groups on both sides to get a balanced symmetrical physique.

Working to make all parts of your body in balance will also help prevent the poor posture, tears and muscle strains caused by having some body parts weaker than others.

It will be enough for most of us just to remember not to neglect the areas we don’t like working on.

For those looking to get closer to perfection, get a program which trains for every range and angle of movement in every part of your body and which balances the various movements in equal measure.
