Where is a person's weak spot?

Perhaps your weak spot is your core. The core is your midsection, with spinal erectors that hold up the spine, and abdominals and obliques that help rotate the trunk. Since every limb movement originates in the core, a weak core will create a weakness in limb movements as well.

However, there is another kind of weakness that many older folks don’t even know they have. They allow one side of the body do more work than the other side. This causes a muscle imbalance that, with time, can even pull on the bones of the skeleton. Unless the muscle imbalance is huge and obvious, a personal trainer usually can’t identify it. It takes a good physical therapist to diagnose a muscle imbalance, and it’s done with special tools, such as a sensitive plate on a floor that measures the weight of each foot as the person being tested walks across the floor. Such plates can identify whether one glute or one thigh is doing more work than the other. The therapist can then create an exercise program that will build up the weaker side. The program can never be accomplished in just a few months. It takes a very long time to rebuild a weak spot _ a year or maybe even two years. Since you have already established a tendency towards atrophy, you may have to continue a specified exercise program for the rest of your life, or at least until you hit your mid-80s. One good thing: Medicare will pay most of the cost of working out in a physical therapy or rehab center. Don’t sign up for the first site you visit, unless other sites are many miles away. If you live in a city/suburban area, there should be a number of professional physical therapist offices available. Many hospitals also offer this service. Call each place, don’t ever just ‘drop in.’ Tell the person who answers the phone that you want an assessment of any serious weaknesses or muscle imbalances in your body. The therapists can also design an efficient workout to start making your weak spot strong again.

How do men choose a wife?

When choosing a wife, a man looks for a woman who makes him feel important and appreciated. Intuitive affection goes a long way to achieve this. Something as simple as holding his hand in public tells the world that you're proud to be with him and want the world to know. This brings him a sense of value.

6. Beauty:

Looking good is never a bad thing but true beauty, from the eyes of a man, is a combination of confidence and putting effort into being the best you possible. Being proud of who you are is sexy. Even if you’re not exactly a “perfect 10”, putting effort into how you look – exercising, eating right, paying attention to your clothes – more than makes up for it. These two things combined empowers a woman to meet each day with positivity, and with so much negativity in the media these days positivity is a much sought after trait in a future bride.

7. Ambition:

What a man needs from his wife is drive. Getting completely comfortable with your situation feels nice in the short term – it means no conflict and no stress. But, over a period of time, things become dull and you can fall into a rut. A good wife will be interested in constant improvement and growth, and the drive to make things happen. She also has the common sense to negate the stress by setting realistic, attainable goals that don’t interfere with the stability you’ve built. Another great thing about women with ambition is that they generally do not settle, they want the best. Since nothing but the best will do, he can be certain that he’s a great catch and walk his days in full confidence.
