2 Underrated Exercises


“2 Underrated Exercises”


1. Push-Ups: Many people-particularly women-lack upper body strength and endurance. With myriad variations available, push-ups are a great way to improve both strength and aesthetics of the upper body musculature (i.e. chest, shoulders, and triceps). Give the seated chest machine the boot, and try push-up variations for a change.
2. Split Squats: Appropriate for all levels, split squats help improve both balance and strength in your lower limbs. Actions we perform every day (i.e. walking) are often done one leg at a time. Therefore, incorporating unilateral exercises into your training regimen is an action worth considering.
