| Oct 26, 2011 at 19:58 | comment | added | Leo | OK, no problem. In this fragment you can see good exercises to open your frontal muscle chains and relax your back chains. As you can see you don't need a lot of weight. Gravity alone is more than weight enough. The reason why I suggested a personal trainer is because these exercises are pretty hard to describe and most conventional fitness coaches don't know about them. youtube.com/watch?v=dIhtZT76N8M&feature=feedu | |

Conventional fitness exercises performed by a person who hasn't got much experience doing fitness is really not the way to go here. "Lift heavy", Really? That's your advice? I looked at the exercises in the awnser of Mike and these eercises will only make the problem worse. I would have recommended the same exercises back in time when I was still a fitness instructor. Taking some time to study new science has broaden my horizon. I suggest you do the same | |

The "conventional" wisdom, as expressed above by Dave, is to lift heavy and use compound exercises - it's much harder to develop (or keep) an imbalance if you're using most of your muscles every time you exercise. | |
