For those who want to improve their overall muscular and aesthetic look, try performing movements that you are not used to performing. The act of recruiting new muscles that you aren't used to using will not only help improve performance, but it will develop certain muscles that you you're not used to seeing. This may be because you are only used to pressing, curling, and calf raises for your legs. Well, all that is fine and dandy, but what about the plantar flexion involved from grabbing the pavement on the balls of your feet and pulling as you stride. Think about all of the lower calf muscles like the soleus and the peroneals on the sides of the calf that activate during these movements. Or, perhaps, the classic run on Venice Beach after a night of eating those multi grains. The grabbing of the sand; the use of your arms to pull; the abdominal control: these are all things that one can experience when trying new forms of exercise.
Why the ladies have even found that pole dancing classes can recruit muscles you're not used to using which will tie your physique together even more. Sometimes we complain about weak points of our bodies and muscles that will not be brought up to speed with the others. This may be due to the fact that they're too used to the same range of motion and speed that you've been using for the past 15 years. Try varying it up. Don't be afraid to try a form of exercise that can challenge your body differently. If you're trying to aesthetically improve your physique, this is a must! At the end of the day, change is good. So try something new...for an ultimate change.
