Your Healthy Pain: Home Workouts: Getting Into Shape Without Hurting Yourself

Most injuries are caused by body imbalances due to poor postural habits (e.g. stooped over phones/computers) where some muscles are overly strong and stiff while other muscles are overstretched and weak. Strengthening an imbalanced body only serves to reinforce the imbalance and increase your likelihood of injury. Based upon 25 years of sports chiropractic experience and analysis of the most common postural problems, this strength guide shows which specific exercises you should do at home — and how you should do them — so you can get into shape without hurting yourself. As a matter of fact, you’ll reduce your risk of injury, as these exercises also improve your body balance in the comfort of your own home.
