Of course, you can use it in your standard daily workout routine. Most exercises focus on abs, hips and glutes, and upper torso. Often referred to as the core. The big takeaway here is that you do not need heavy and expensive gym equipment to stay fit.

Let’s imagine your quadriceps is the cable. If you develop your quadriceps and do not proportionally strengthen the foundational layer or skeletal muscles that attach to your hip and knee, because both joints need good stabilization while you flex your quads, something will eventually break if you attempt to push your quadriceps to their full potential. This is often how joint injury takes place. You’ll notice it’s often the smaller muscles that are compromised. Muscles like the rotator cuff group in the shoulder, small abduction muscles in the pubic area, or smaller muscles in the elbow or knees. as support for those who are injured, or are looking for a solution to progress through movements they haven’t mastered yet,
