Push Away Balance is an exercise that works the entire body! It increases your balance and your core, leg, and upper-body strength. Make sure to keep those abs tight and do the single-leg squat before you drop forward to the ground.
Totally doing this during my breaks from playing the Sims.
Gotta try!
How do you not die when you die this?!

I can’t even begin to emphasis how important this is. Squats are by far my fav lifting exercise.

Now by no means am I knocking the physique on the left (in fact, I admire her), nor am I suggesting the physique on the right (mine) is the ideal physique.What I am demonstrating in this picture is that lifting heavy weights will not make you look like the picture on the left UNLESS you are taking steroids and have committed your LIFE to achieving it. The woman on the left has spent YEARS lifting, eating, sleeping and breathing aspecific lifestyle that will get her to that point. Her physique did NOT happen by accident and it did NOT happen overnight. And neither did mine on the right! I have also spent years lifting, eating, sleeping & breathing the lifestyle I want to achieve MY ideal physique.
Unfortunately, the myth that women are capable of bulking up and building muscle like a man is still annoyingly persistent. I’m not sure who invented this silly fallacy, but if I were to ever meet them, I would certainly give them a piece of my mind! ;) Women do not have the levels of testosterone necessary to “bulk up” the way men do. Even MEN have trouble putting on muscle mass. When I hear girls and guys tell me they “don’t want to get too big”, I can’t help but sigh. You will NOT be able to pick up a pair of heavy dumbbells and wake up the next morning looking like the incredible hulk. Most men and women have no idea how much effort, time, dedication, and discipline it takes to achieve “tone”, let alone a muscular physique! Remember, if it were EASY to be that in shape and all it took was picking up a heavy weight now and then, EVERYONE would be in shape!
