You can develop a balanced strength-training program with a few basic exercises. Work opposing muscle groups in order to develop balance around major joints, and use muscle groups from the upper and lower extremities as well as from the trunk. Proper positioning and control are crucial during resistance training. Keep your spine in a neutral position, without excessive arching or forward bending. When you must bend for exercises such as reverse flys, bend from the hips. During standing upper body exercises, keep your hips and knees slightly bent.
