since women are built differently than men-wider hips are an obvious example-there are some specific, important exercises that especially benefit women and that we should be doing if not already. here is a partial list:
- lateral lunges-side movements help stabilize hips, stabile hips help our knees.
- walking lunges-again targets the hips while helping the knees.
- squats-having strong glutes helps everything!
- pull ups-women lose arm, shoulder strength rapidly. we have less muscle to begin with so really need this type of weight bearing exercise.
on a more advanced level:
- TRX rows
- kettlebell squat push press
- ball rollout, plank version
if you would like more detailed info on any of these exercises just contact me, ask at your fitness facility or do a search on google or you tube.
