Every sport, by the nature of the physicality involved, uses strength to a greater or lesser degree. Choose one exercise that will work every muscle/muscle group in the body. Of course your physical strength is just one half of your strength development.
Every sport, by the nature of the physicality involved, uses
Strength
to a greater or lesser degree. In boxing the power comes from your feet,
through your legs, transferred through your back, down your arms, and on to the
end of your fist. In football there are many dynamic movements involved in all
the muscles of your legs and your back helping to keep you upright while
controlling the ball throughout play. What about table tennis, swimming, athletics,
and any other Olympic or competitive sport? Even bowls, typically involving
players more mature in age, uses strengthin subtle ways.
Choose one exercise that will work every muscle/muscle group
in the body. Total body programs should include at least 8-10 exercises, while
split routines should have at least one exercise for each muscle group. Work
the largest to the smallest muscle groups, with the core exercises for
abdominals, low back, and torso last (work legs, hips, chest, back, shoulders,
arms, abs, low back, and rotational movements).
Of course your physical strength is just
one half of your strength development. The strength of your mind will be one of
your greatest assets not only in the gym, but outside the gym too. For me
personally, completing an exercise routine even though it may be hard has
taught me to follow things through in my personal life. I can remember going
through tough times in work situations when all I really wanted to do was give
up. The ability to continue through physical pain gave me a strong grounding to
face other hardships in my life and continue through those. This is what builds
strength of character, and allows you to always remind yourself. For more
