Body Building: Exercises

 

Perhaps the most simple and efficient exercise to build the body, not necessitating starting gear, is the leg squat. Later weights used across the shoulders and hands can also lead to considerable muscle increase.

 

And still, it can be one of the most effective exercises you can use to maintain muscle tone and build definition in pretty well all of your leg muscles.

 

The leg squat is so simple and easy an exercise to perform that it can be done while being engaged in some other activity. So even while attending phone calls or while cooking, you can keep one eye at the stove and also do the leg squat. Of course, it’s important to be careful.

 

So multitasking isn’t a problem with quite a few exercises

 

 

For the leg squat, comfort is a priority, and not feeling well or being up to it can be quite dangerous. Doing it incompletely or doing it poorly can be even more damaging than not doing it at all.

 

This is how you prepare yourself for the leg squats:

1)  Firstly you must stand with your legs placed apart. The most convenient width between the two legs would be shoulder width. Loosen your body y giving yourself a little shake.

 

2)  A succession of deep breaths should follow, and the breathing should ensue from the stomach rather than the chest.

 

3)  It is important to relax. Concentrate on your body and try to gauge how able your body is to take the exercise.

 

4)  Gradually lower your body while beginning the leg squat. Bend gently down at the knees. When you go down do remember to exhale.

 

5)  Stop and hold on for a few seconds at the lowest point. This is most important in the whole of the exercise. Inhale when you raise your body.


This is an easy exercise but immensely beneficial. You will find your muscles tightening over a period of time.

 

The number of reps is up to you. Don’t start big initially as that can prove to be damaging. As you increase you’ll gain strength and vice versa. You can slowly increase the number as you progress, and you will realize that it is not as simple and more taxing than you at first believed.

 

Beginning with leg squats is very good for the legs. After a bit you can use small weights and even advanced working out simply means progressing to larger weights across the shoulders.

 

It basically implies working out the muscles in the leg. Selecting a few muscle groups to add more pressure on to also means adding variety.

 

For instance, standing with toes directed slightly outwards would work on the muscles of the inner thigh.

 

On the other hand, if the toes point inwards the reverse happens and the outer thigh gets worked on.

 

Leg squats as the foundation of your bodybuilding routine will definitely take care of your legs. However it is important to take ones time and gradually build up the reps and the weights.

SWEET DREAMS

  Rest is one of the most overlooked parts of an exercise regimen, but the reality is it is actually a quite important principle. Sleep is one of your most valuable tools for growth that you can have in your body building arsenal.   Muscle adaptation and growth often occurs at night. During the suspended state of animation you are in, your body is doing exactly what you have been asking it to do during your workouts – build muscle.   Lack of sleep can have an intoxicating effect on your body. According to the Journal of Applied Sports Science , being awake for 24 hours has the same physical effect as a blood alcohol content of 0.096, which is above the legal driving limit in most states.   Working out in this state has its obvious downside. For starters, your lack of muscular coordination places you at a much higher risk for injury. Just as you'd never head to the gym after drinking a few beers at your local tavern, you should never work out...
