RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Want to know a trick to get more out of your exercise/daily life activity? Answer: PUSH THROUGH YOUR HEELS. Whether you're walking, running, going up stairs, doing lunges/squats, jumping: push through your heels. This activates your glutes (butt) & hamstrings, which makes them stronger because it doesn't overdevelop your quadriceps. Also having strong glutes helps to protect your knees, because the glutes are 1/3 of the core (abs & lower back).
