Posture Assumed for Squats
Stand straight with your feet somewhat apart. The toes should be pointed out while you hold dumbbells (dumbbells are the short-handled partners of the barbell that complete the core of the weight lifting family) at the sides. Arm should be straight with the heels on the floor. You should lower the body like you about to sit down. Your knees should be kept above the toes and stay in this position for a while, Start this exercise over again, thrusting the body upwards with your heels, and you straightening your legs.
Squats tones the gluteus maximus (gluteus maximus are large, superficial, buttock muscle) and the hamstrings (hamstrings are the three major muscles which are located on the posterior side of the thigh, these muscles function as flexors of the knee and quadriceps which are positioned on the front or anterior of the thigh, the quadriceps consist of four muscles.
Push-ups are usually difficult especially when you are just starting out. Push-ups tone the biceps, triceps, chest area as well as the shoulders. What you do is to lay face down on a mat and you raise your head upwards which should be slightly off the floor. Your hands should be placed by your side on the mat pointing forward. Raise your legs which should be bent at the knees. You should try and raise the front part of your body upward off the mat, and use your hands and knees for support.
Toning the chest (pectoralis majors), the shoulders (anterior deltoids) and the triceps (muscle of the back of the upper arm, primarily responsible for extending the elbow) using bench pressing with dumbbells. What you do is to lie flat on your back with the feet firmly planted on the floor using a bench. This posture should be accurately aligned, whilst you hold the dumbbells, the weight should be lifted above your head. As soon as the dumbbells are lifted they should touch each other. The weight should be lowered at the same time that the elbows are bent while the arms are kept at the sides and this should be replicated.
Flex lunging stretch exercise, has a couple of ways of performing this exercise one of which is to stand straight with the feet a little apart. Dumbbells (dumbbells are the short-handled partners of the barbell that complete the core of the weight lifting family) can also be used too. Arms should be straight at the sides and down towards the floor. You step forward with the left foot at the same time you lung. The foot should be thrust out wide whilst bending the knees. Try to hold this pose for a while then you replicate this exercise with the right foot.
Whilst you hold dumbbells, make sure the feet are a little apart while you perform overhead presses which will tone the shoulders, lower neck and the upper center back. Make sure your elbows are bent a bit and the palms of the hands are stretched out in front of you. Slide along the dumbbells and make sure the dumbbells are touching the shoulders. Stretch out your arms without completely extending the elbows. Widen the dumbbells over your head lower and you then repeat position.
The way in which face and body lifts will help you to live a longer, healthier and happier life is that it will reinforce the muscles, restore the joints and restore your health.
