Daily fit tip ~ The phrase “mirror body” describes those who only work out the body parts they see in the mirror. Working just the front of your body will not only give you an asymmetrical appearance but also put you at risk for injury. So make sure to balance out your opposing muscle groups – triceps and biceps, hams and quads, chest and upper back.
This is especially true when it comes to your abs. You can do hundreds of crunches or buy expensive machines, but if you really want that flat stomach you need a strong lower back. Women spend hours with exercise videos and gym classes that focus on abs, but hardly ever give a second thought to their lower back.
But strengthening your lower back along with your stomach will create a balance between your front and back muscles, helping you move gracefully. Having a strong midsection will also help you lift heavier weights, which in turn will boost your metabolism and build sexy muscles. Daily activities, such as bending and lifting, will be easier as well.
