Single soldiers looking to improve their physique should not forget about their calves, an area often missed out on during gym sessions, according to an experienced personal trainer.<\/p>\n
Troy Meyers, who is also a sports conditioner, wrote for Project Q Atlanta that many concentrate on the upper body and miss out on the calves, bringing disproportionate results.<\/p>\n
"To produce impressive calves, you must focus on working hard to build them up and give them just as much attention as any other body part," Mr Meyers said.<\/p>\n
He recommended going heavy when working out the calves and aim to increase weights 25-50 pounds each month.<\/p>\n
This will provide tendons and ligaments with the time they need to adapt to the rising weight, Mr Meyers added.<\/p>\n
Single soldiers wanting other fitness tips can look to the current Miss England Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge for tips.<\/p>\n
She recently told the Sun that those looking to maintain a good physique should have a regular routine.<\/p>\n
