Find Your Weaknesses

Strength training is an excellent way to build mass, tone body parts and burn fat, but with so many options available, it’s not always easy to identify what kind of resistance workouts are best for you.

When planning a resistance routine, try to identify the weakest spots throughout your body. Keep a pocket-sized notebook handy, and make a note every time you struggle to lift something, move a particular way, or complete a physical task. Show this information to your workout buddy or personal trainer, and ask for advice about how to improve your strength and range of motion for each activity.

Targeting these weaker areas will not only help tone and sculpt neglected body parts, but help you live a more comfortable life as well.
