Muscle Groups that are Frequently Forgotten and How to Target Them
Recommended by Sam Maniatis, Total Home Training, a Montreal based personal training company
Deep Abdominal Muscles
A easy quick way to target deep abdominal muscles is by taking a few minutes whenever possible in your day to do some breathing exercises. Start by putting your hands on your lower abdomen. Take a nice deep breath, making sure not to fill up your chest, but your stomach and abdomen. Take your time to exhale, and make sure you pull in as tight as possible when breathing out. You will start to feel your lower abs working.
Gluteus Maximus
After sitting for a long period of time, the muscles in you butt “turn off”.
A good way to help your muscles get going again is by lying down on your back with your knees bent. Simply put your hands on your bum, and lift up with your hips. Do this as many times as possible.
Upper body
To work the Rhomboid muscles, which are the muscles between your shoulder blades, sit on chair and lean slightly forward. Put you hands straight out to your sides, with your thumbs pointing up. You should feel your shoulder blades pushing together, which is working these muscles.
