Make sure your routine includes a mix of exercises that assures good muscular balance, he says. Doing the same exercises over and over can lead to the overdevelopment of certain muscles and the underdevelopment of others.
"One of the most classic examples of this is weak butt syndrome," Dr. Metzl says. "I see this all the time in runners who don't cross train. Running doesn’t do much for glute strength," which requires additional strength training.
