Good upper body strength exercises, good lower body strength exercises, and good ab workouts??
I need some good upper body strength workouts…..(biceps, triceps) exercises that won’t make me look like a she-male, but will make me stronger and tones
Also, some lower body strength workouts……(thighs, calves, and any other muscles) also, don’t want to bulk up, just tone and strengthen
Some good ab workouts, ones i can do at home………a variety please
all i have is a set of 5 lbs. and 8lbs. dumb bells
Thanks
overall body strength can be achieved best with multi-joint, compound exercises. so it’s good that you are looking to gain strength on an overall basis, not just spot training.
getting a 6-pack takes work, and you need to get the right information to do it properly. do the wrong exercises or follow the wrong eating program, and you’ll be wasting your time. everyone thinks crunches are the answer, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. a combination of strength-building exercises (like deadlifts, rows, bench presses), good diet program, and cardio is the answer to getting the abs you want.
i worked hard to get my abs, but it paid off. if you’re serious about getting a 6-pack, you should take a look at the site that helped me get mine. like i said, you need to get the proper information, or you’ll be wasting your time. i get all my info from http://www.topsecretbellyfatloss.com
good luck!
I’d suggest trying full body exercises using your body weight or improvised weights. A sandbag and some sand can make a good weight.
Here is a link to a site for women’s fitness. The owner is an avid weightlifter and can help get you started.
well you would be best to sign up at a gym…. nothing can compete with a what a gym has to offer.
for your biceps do standing and sitting bicep curls.. 3 sets each 10 – 12 reps
Triceps take your arm above your head and bend your forearm down to your shoulder up and down… 3 sets 8 – 12 reps
bend down and do some kick backs.. elbow tucked back to your side and extend the weight from forearm down
legs try squating. 3 sets 10 – 12 reps
calves do standing calve raises 10 – 12 reps 3 sets each
do a variety of situps.
