Fitness Tip: If your hands and forearms give out before your back and legs, alternate your grip. It will ease the pressure on your hands, wrists and arms.

Fitness Tip: Do exercises that work multiple muscles and joints, eg. squats for legs and back; bent-over row for biceps and back, etc.

Fitness Tip: Use the ‘slow lifting’ trend during the easier part of an exercise. When you push, jump, etc., move the weight/your body as quickly as you can.

Fitness Tip: By sliding your shoulder blades down and back before an exercise, you can improve your results and protect yourself from injury.

Fitness Tip: Trade your machine exercises for dumbbells, barbells and medicine balls in order to build strength in ways more specific to your body.
