Burn Fat And Build Muscle With These Finishes

You just finished your weight lifting for the day and are feeling good as you should. But wait, before you leave the gym or hit the shower, burn fat and build muscle with this “closer” to finish up. Since your muscles are probably feeling pretty tired from your workout, you will not use any weights – except your body weight. They are brief but intense which is why you should do them at the end of your workout. It’s a great way to burn fat and build muscle plus when your done, you will have an extra bounce in your step throughout the day knowing you left everything you had in the gym. Only do one of this twice a week.

Swiss Ball Abdominals Workout

Swiss Ball Abdominals Workout

Most people do their abdominals workout at the end of their workouts. I prefer to do my abs on non-weight lifting days, which in my case is Tuesday and Thursday. If you go that route and you prefer to do your workouts at home, I would suggest getting yourself a Swiss ball. These are easy to store at home, reasonably cheap, and have plenty of different uses, not just for an abdominals workout. I am going to assume you have one and list different exercises. If you are out of shape, I’d suggest getting a set of light dumbbells with your Swiss ball and spend a couple of weeks waking up those sleeping muscles. Your ball will probably come with exercises; feel free to pick and choose as you please. Start off slow and don’t worry about feeling clumsy at first. You’ll have good balance after a couple of weeks. Sitting on the ball will feel completely natural after a month. Got2ManUP!

Bicep Workout – Blast Your Biceps In A Short Period Of Time

Here’s a good bicep workout routine. If it’s a little hard to understand, don’t be afraid to highlight, then print them to take to the gym, garage or wherever else your working out. This Bicep workout is assuming you are lifting weights at an intermediate level.

Biceps – perform 3 sets of the close grip chin-up followed by 3 sets of the dumbbell single arm isometric curl and then 3 sets of the Hammer Curls to complete this Bicep workout. Rest for 60 seconds after each set. Do as many chin-ups as possible in each set and complete 10-12 reps in each set of curls. Perform this workout twice a week, resting at least 2 days between sessions.

Sprint and core workout not for the soft at heart

Sprinting is a great way to improve cardiovascular, agility and build a leaner tighter body. This sprint and core workout is a tough workout and should only be done if your in really good to great shape. If you’re not at this time, you can jog through this workout and build up to sprinting. This should be done 2 days a week.

Getting injured in the weight room can be a difficult issue to handle. For experienced weightlifters, the big issue is just walking around in pain for a little while. But for a beginner, there is a much bigger challenge to avoid common weight lifting injuries.

If you are new to strength training, getting injured can cause you to rethink exactly why you’re doing this in the first place. If you get hurt really badly, it will probably be the end of your fitness program altogether.

It’s Good To Workout When You Are Sore – To A Point

No matter what your fitness level, there’s no doubt you’ve felt some pain from working out. Tightness in your calves, a twitch in your hamstrings when you sit, general soreness in your chest or triceps.
