TIP #1
As you reach age 40, your muscles become less flexible, so they need to be stretched longer. Age 40 and under: Hold stretches for 60 seconds. Age 40+: Hold stretches for 90 seconds (30 seconds longer).
TIP #2
Exercise in order because smaller muscles will fatigue before your larger muscle group.
1. Dumbbells
2. Barbells
3. Machines
TIP #3
To increase your range of motion, do sit-ups to strengthen your core. Your abdominals will work harder and longer.
TIP #4
If you workout in the evening, shop for exercise shoes late in the day. By the end of the day, your feet are larger. Purchase shoes, that give you 1/2 inch of space in front of your longest toe for your maximum workout comfort.
TIP #5
To get better calf muscles, perform both seated and standing calf raises.
TIP #6
Would you want your abs to work harder? While at the top of your crunch movement, exhale forcefully.
