Fitness Tip: Lifting heavier weights won’t make you “bulky.” It will make you stronger and protect you from osteoporosis by increasing bone density.

Fitness Tip: The pushup is one of the world’s greatest exercises. Maintain a rigid body line from the top of your head to your heels throughout the push.

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

Fitness Tip: Do exercises that work multiple muscles & joints: Squats = legs & back; bent-over row = biceps & back; narrow-grip bench press = triceps & chest.

Fitness Tip: Only 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.
