We all have a favorite body part to focus on when it comes to working out. For some of us, our legs are easy to strengthen and work, while our arms are difficult to tone and strengthen. On magazine covers we see round, lifted butts and bikini-ready abs. We immediately come to the conclusion then that we need to perform endless amounts of crunches and squats to get those things.
There’s no shame in wanting to shape and sculpt a certain way, but when we go overboard on focusing only on a certain area of our body, we start to neglect the rest of it. As a result, two things start to happen:

First, we overwork the area we’re trying to build, which can actually lead to multiple injuries, fatigue, decline in performance, soreness, and poor recovery. Second, the areas we’ve chosen to ignore start to weaken. At best, it will seem strange that you have the strongest arms and can lift heavy weights without breaking a sweat but can barely hold a lunge because of weak legs. But at worst, our body responds to the neglect in some pretty scary ways. For one, our skeletal system.
If a muscle starts to grow weak, it affects our natural movement, balance, coordination, and posture. And when our posture is thrown off, this can lead to further imbalances in the body that can lead to even more problems. In this episode I will go over the importance of a full body training and treating our bodies as a whole versus just working on our least favorite areas.
