Exercising can sometimes be a simpler matter for some, but for others, it requires a lot of time and dedication to fulfill the body they desire. They try everything from simple walking to a fully-decked out home gym and more than regular cardio and strength exercise. Here's some of the most effective ways to body build.
Effective Exercises
For the stomach, one of the best exercises you can do is the bicycle exercise. It helps develop those washboard abs you've been seeking, which in turn help protect your spine. However, it will not help burn that beer belly you might have adopted over time, but the increased muscle amount will increased fat burn over time. Lie down facing the ceiling with hands behind your head. Then bring your knees up and pedal like you're on a bike. For each pedal, cross your right elbow to your left knee, then cross your left elbow to your right knee and so on.
Squats are excellent for developing leg and the gluteal muscles. If done correctly, you should be able to feel your muscles stretching for each rep. Simply stand up straight with legs shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and hips to lower your upper body, but do not bend forwards, as this will diminish the movements.
Walking is another great form of exercise, as it is low in intensity, but an hour of walking can burn up to 500 calories. So an hour every day of the week will result in at least a pound burned for many people. Simply walking around the block or walking to work instead of driving are both excellent options. Alternatively, this can be substituted with riding a bike, which can increase the rate of burn in some cases.
For your arms, try push-ups. They're the traditional means of building up arm-muscle, but can also improve chest muscles as well as some other muscles. Place yourself on the ground, face down, then place your hands a little wider then shoulder-width apart, places your toes (or knees if you struggle) on the floor, then lower and lift your body by straightening your elbows. For those who have done little to no arm workout, this may be too much. If so, follow the same procedure, but instead of lying on the floor, do it against objects, such as tables or just with bent knees. This will alleviate some of the weight until you build up strength.
For the upper-back, attempt the bent-over row. It should work out all of your major back muscles if done correctly and even your biceps. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and lean forward at the hip, while maintaining a tense stomach and extending your spine.
These cover the major muscles in the body and should help in the strength building regime you're considering. Remember to maintain a healthy diet and never to over work yourself, as both can easily set you back if you don't keep good practice.
