The paramount reason for frequent exercise is to have a better quality of life.

As much as people recognize the importance of being fit, very few take the trouble to research the long term impact and credibility of their preferred approach to being active.  Young men want to flaunt big muscles, so they restrict themselves to training the most visible parts of their body like the arms and chest. Young girls attend aerobic classes and work hard on their legs and abs, but usually have a weak upper body and poor endurance. Older people prefer steady state cardio with very little resistance and train different body parts in isolation on popular gym machines, if at all they opt for resistance training which leaves them with a weak core. Even in holistic yoga classes, while people often gain greater flexibility and improved blood circulation, very few focus on endurance building moves like the Surya-namaskar.

An ideal way to build complete fitness is to forget about muscles and concentrate on perfecting key movements that sum up the entire physical pattern of an active individual who lives the most demanding routine.

The following compound movements engage multiple body parts simultaneously and train the biggest muscles of our body to work in tandem. This develops better body control without any loss in flexibility and prevents imbalances in physical symmetry.

Building multi-dimensional strength is the surest way to kick ass in life!

To get started, simply ensure that the main exercises given under each movement are a part of your weekly routine. They are not necessarily meant to be performed together in a single workout. To check for physical weaknesses, try and perform the exercises with very light weight or no resistance with perfect form, in front of a mirror. If any exercise feels too difficult, you have hit your sore spot. The more you practice that movement, the easier it will get.
