It’s also a great way to improve your posture and overall strength. This movement is similar to Bent-Over Rows but is much more difficult due to the use of smaller muscle groups. Curtsy Lunge This is another exercise that works your muscles in a different plane of motion: the transverse plane. This movement also helps strengthen your vastus medialis oblique, which is a thigh muscle that is often underactive. Strengthening this muscle can help reduce the risk of knee injuries in females, especially female athletes who play sports that involve cutting movements, like soccer, basketball, and tennis. Standing Bicep Stretch This is one way to stretch your biceps so that you don’t catch a cramp following your isolated weight lifting. You may notice your elbows staying in a bent position after a bicep workout because your biceps have shortened. It’s important to stretch your biceps to restore them to their original length. Tight, shortened biceps can cause your shoulders to round forward, which in turn will affect your shoulder mobility.
