92. Fix Your Arms & Legs! What to do & what not to do when training your upper and lower body

Self Care Simplified - A podcast by Megan Dahlman

Mirror muscles? Lunge jumps? Light weights/high reps? Oh boy, we’re covering the good stuff today! In this quick series about “fixing your stuff”, we’re systematically tackling how to create strong fitness foundations for yourself – what it means and how it looks to have a really strong body. If you want strong, powerful and resilient arms and legs, it’s so important to have good posture (alignment) and a strong core first. But now, let’s get to the rest of your body and learn what TO DO and what NOT TO DO when training your arms and legs. A good total body workout is so much more than just spot training trouble spots, targeting specific muscles, and doing light weights for high reps. On this episode, we’ll talk all about the “mirror muscles”, why movements matter, the right sets/reps scheme, and how to follow the proper progressions so you don’t get hurt. Do NOT skip over this episode if you’re on the quest for the strongest and healthiest version of yourself! MORE RESOURCES: JUMPSTART 30 – Get registered! The FREE Body Type Quiz
