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.

Fitness Tip: Add more work to each rep and increase the efficiency of your workout by increasing the range of motion – squat deeper, raise the step ups, etc.

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