Often athletes develop foot problems because they train in shoes that are worn out or don't fit properly. Replace your shoes every few months, because the padding wears out. Also, replace shoes if the tread or heels are worn down. While replacing shoes is expensive, it is less expensive-and less painful-than a long-lasting heel problem. Other sensible training techniques, such as avoiding uneven or hard surfaces, can help prevent plantar fasciitis from occurring or returning

Pull-Over And Press

Works All three heads

Grab a 20 to 30 pound EZ Curl bar and lie faceup on a bench with your feet flat on the floor. Hold your arms straight and position the bar directly above your chest. Bend your arms and, in a slow, controlled motion, lower the bar past your head -toward the floor until your arms are aligned with your ears. Bring the bar back up above your chest, then slowly lower it to your upper chest. Do three sets of 10 to 12 reps, resting for up to 30 seconds between sets.

Note: It is ideal to work with a spotter when performing this move.

Blast Back Fat - Lat Pull-Down
This exercise mainly works the large latissimus dorsi muscle that coves the bulk of your middle back. Sit facing a lat pull-down machine with your knees bent and legs positioned under the pads. Grasp the handle with a wide overhand grip. Contract your abdominal muscles and pull the bar toward your upper chest while pushing your chest out and pulling your elbows back. Pause at the end of the movement then carefully return to the initial position. Perform two to three sets of eight to twelve repetitions of this exercise.

High-Intensity Interval Training
High-intensity interval training burns plenty of calories during and after the session. You will lose body fat throughout your body, including in your back. High-intensity interval training makes your body more efficient at breaking down body fat and using it for energy. Do an interval session on the treadmill by sprinting for 45 seconds and then walking for two minutes and 15 seconds. Perform this workout twice a week for 20 minutes.

Stability Ball Pushup

Works Medial head

Get in pushup position with your hands on the center of a stability ball. Bend your elbows, lowering yourself toward the ball. When your chest comes within an inch or two of the ball, press back up. That's one rep. Do three sets of 10 to 12 reps, resting for up to 30 seconds between sets.

Trainer Tip Play nice with your joints: Never lock your elbows at the top of a pushup.

Leg weights give you a number of workout options, whether you exercise at a gym or at home. The versatility of these weights allows you to increase the resistance of normal body-weight exercises. However, leg weights also increase the risk to your joints. Alternate weighted walking with regular walking to minimize the risk of injury.

Lunges with Dumbbells
• Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a 5- or 8-pound dumbbell in each hand.
