Don't Be a Victim to These Bad Workout Habits

When you switch your movements to go backward, you'll be working different muscles than you normally do. Jogging backward on an incline on the treadmill or switching direction on the elliptical can help strengthen leg muscles that you normally neglect. Even alternating the direction you do your lunges — either forward, backward, or to the side — will ensure that you're toning all those muscles in your legs.
