My Secret to 40 Years of Working Out
In my years in gyms, I’ve met thousands of men and women who care enough about their bodies to want to exercise. The only problem is that sometimes I cringe when I see what they’re doing to themselves. I try to offer advice when I can, but as the saying goes, “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.”
Many of these exercise enthusiasts spend all of their time on what I call the “mirror muscles.” These are the ones that you can see when you stand in front of a mirror and admire yourself. Of major importance to most guys is their pectoral or chest muscles. But, they are making a crucial mistake by not spending enough time on working their shoulders.
What happens is, they end up with a body out of balance. Without building the shoulders along with the pectoral muscles, they’ve put their shoulders at great risk. And this isn’t important for just the guys! Having strong shoulders is important for women too. That’s because there are so many daily activities that put stress on the shoulders.
