Developing huge chests and firm butts may look great but can lead to problems down the road such as lower back problems and tight hamstrings. Working on a Nautilus or Sprint line of exercise machines is an excellent training regimen that works all the major muscles of your body. If these are not available to you, there are numerous books to teach you wonderful strengthening exercises to do at home. I recommend some sort of strength training at least three times a week. The last and most often neglected dimension of physical fitness is flexibility.
Flexibility is the degree of movement capable at a specific joint or articulation.
Our bodies are designed to be dynamic and fluid. In my own practice I have found that developing flexibility made me quicker, lighter and enhanced my cardiovascular and strength training. When working on flexibility, breathe deeply and slowly as you stretch the various parts of your body. Avoid bobbing and bouncing, as these actions usually lead to injury. If certain muscles and joints of your body are tighter than others, spend a few more minutes breathing and working those joints and muscles.
