Where Should I Focus my Workouts?


                       
                                                                                                                         
Good Joint Alignment and Muscle Balance with all Joints allows Effective Muscle and Joint Movements

In the past strength training focused on specific muscle groups in isolation, without regard to the kinetic chain.  It is very important to have good joint alignment and muscle balance with all joints.  This allows effective muscle and joint movements. 

Building Muscle Stability, Mobility and Endurance in the Core, Pelvis and Shoulders can Eliminate Pain and Correct Posture

It is important to start building muscle stability, mobility and endurance in the core, pelvis and shoulders.   A lot of people suffer from back pain and postural imbalances. Strengthening these muscles can help eliminate pain and correct posture.  There is an agonist and antagonist to every muscle group.  For example the back muscles are agonist and chest muscles are antagonists.   It is important to balance the strength in the chest and back.

Targeting all Muscle Groups can Alleviate Pain, Correct Posture, Balance and Strengthen the Body  

We have all seen the guy at the gym that only focuses on certain muscle groups and does not balance his workouts.  For example if he only works on chest and on occasion works out his back, there will be an imbalance in the muscles and most likely his posture. You will see rounding of shoulders and him hunched over.  It is important to balance work outs with all muscle groups, hamstrings/quadriceps, triceps/biceps, chest/back etc.  So remembering to target all muscle groups to alleviate pain, correct posture, balance and strengthen the body.
