This is where the "both sides of a joint" comes in. Some work is a very 
repetitive movement that emphasizes only a limited set of muscles. This needs 
to be corrected by exercises that will work other muscles, and especially 
those that counter the muscles already being exercised by the work being done.



In my opinion, the best exercise for overall fitness, working all muscle 
groups, and cardio-vascular improvement is swimming.? Swimming, not floating. 
There is a difference... <g>

Also, IMHO, he best overall upper body exercise is?called a Bar-Dip. This 
works, to some degree, at least, all of the upper body muscle groups. Form is 
important, however, for it to be most effective, and a slow rate of speed, as 
I mentioned earlier.

The best overall lower body exercise, is the squat, or perhaps the lunge. 
However, far too many people do not do these correctly, or use too much 
weight. Form has to be impeccable to avoid possible injury, as well as 
avoiding too much weight.

Homestead work may have enough variety to keep this from happening, but I've 
known some who did physical work that exercised some muscles more than 
others, 
and that could create a problem?  Is there a case for exercising to make sure 
that all muscles are included?
