Fitness Tip of the Day:

Many people are obsessed with mirror muscles. I see this everyday, people working out their chest, biceps and abs. Many people neglect the muscles that are hidden from plain view. 50% of the people that I see training rarely work their hamstrings, glutes and lower back. Even though these muscles can't be seen in the mirror doesn't mean they do not exist. Strengthen these muscles to help increase balance in the body as well as to help build the overall power your body can generate during exercises.

A great exercise that works all three of these muscles is the deadlift. For simpler exercises try lower back extentions and hamstring curls.

  1. I do deadlifts with dumbells! They work the hamstrings great! :)
