Men and women often do weight training exercises for different reasons. Many men want to develop as much muscle as possible, and many women simply want to lose weight and have toned muscles.
Every exercise can help to achieve both goals depending on how you use the exercise. If you lift really heavy weights and perform 3-6 sets per exercise, that's more conducive to building maximum strength and maximum muscle. If you lift moderate to light weights, with 1-3 sets per exercise, that's more conducive to improving general fitness, strengthening, endurance, and toning.
Strong Trapezius Muscles are Important for Everyone!
Many people feel tension in the trapezius from poor posture, stress, or carrying heavy objects. The trapezius muscle helps to keep your shoulder up, so every time you hold something in your hands the trapezius muscle is stressed.
Whenever you place a bag over your shoulders the trapezius muscle is stressed. And because the trapezius muscle attaches to and supports your head, every time you are upright your trapezius muscle is stress.
The trapezius muscle only gets a break when we lie down, so it works for almost the entire day. This is why so many people feel tension in this muscle. Strengthening the trapezius is one way to decrease the tension and support this muscle.
