mon- work out your shoulders, your upper back, and your triceps
tues- run and do other cardio
wed- work out your pecs, biceps, forearms, and abs
thurs- run and do other cardio
fri- work out your lower back and your entire legs.
relax or do light exercises on the weekends. and remember more reps of less weight is better. do sets like this
do 3 reps rest 30 seconds and repeat. do it 8 times. thats a total of 24 reps
or do 15, 15, 12, 12, 10, 10
or 10, 5, 3 and then keep doing 3′s until you fail.
MAKE SURE YOU DO IT WITH A SPOTTER. any friend that can help get the weight up wwhen your muscles go into shock. its happened to me hundreds of time. i always have my friend or dad spot me. oh and free weeights are always better than machines.

Question by …: What are some simple but effective exercises(Preferably bodyweight) to bulk up shoulder and back muscles?
I was born with an extrememely thin upper body and thin shoulders so I’d very much like to change that, and i’ve been doing a ton of pullups but they haven’t helped me at all in building my back muscles. I’m just trying to bulk up, and more specifically im trying to obtain that V-shaped back. Also, for the shoulder exercises i cant do handstand pushups so if anyone has any advice i’d be grateful. Thanks in advance!

You should try swimming on a regular basis, like 3 times a week. It’s an excellent exercise that tones just about your entire body.

Question by No_longer_a_corporate_mom: What besides crunches are some good abs exercises?
I know you can’t spot train, but I work out everyday and the only abs machine my gym has is the equivalent of a crunch. I want to work out my abs more, but what is there besides a crunch. Especially for my obliques, which the crunch machine at the gym can’t get.

Answer by jesus
an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture, for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your body back, until it’s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week, guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat – if you have any – six pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these crunches – I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

Question by Soccer Nerd: What are some good goalkeeper strength training exercises?
The technical side of my game is pretty good, but I really want to improve my strength/conditioning. I’m 5’6″ and only 120 pounds, so needless to say, I’m not as much of a physical presence in the box as I should be. What are some good keeper-specific exercises I could do to become stronger and improve my game? Anything that would help my vertical jump in particular is preferable. Thanks!
Best answer:
Answer by Bacon
i’m 6 tf and 180 lbs, and being vertical is very important. do a lot of lunges, explosive squats which is when u get down, and explode up as fast as u can and your feet should be in the air,and leg strengthing excerises…a simple one is bounce the ball hard and jump up and get the ball like a high ball with a knee up. important thing is reps, doing it over and over and over again. also jump and tap the crossbar switching legs. also on stairs hop over 2 or 3 steps on both feet, then hop up and down each step on one foot. hope it gives you ideas…

Some Of The Best Tips For Buying a Treadmill
Basic treadmill models can start at 0 and can go up to 00. Treadmills have become the hottest home exercise equipment choice. There are many competing models of treadmills to choose between.
With treadmills you need to watch out for the impact involved when your feet hit the belt; your body absorbs up to two and a half times your body weight.
A well-constructed treadmill is a piece of home exercise equipment that every member of your family can enjoy.
AC motors that are found in some treadmill units run at one continuous speed and rely on a transmission to regulate speed whereas units powered by DC motors use variable voltage to regulate the speed at which the belt spins.
A pre-programmed workout registers your heart rate without being connected to the treadmill by a cord or wire. Most treadmills come with an electronic console that displays workout feedback such as speed, distance traveled, time you’ve been working out and calories burned.
Notice that some treadmill heart rate monitors clip onto an ear or, for more accurate readings, strap on to the chest. Some treadmills monitor your heart by way of sensors built into the frame that are gripped by the hands, but this can only be done if you’re walking not running.
Safety features on a treadmill are especially important if you plan to work out alone or if you have small children who might accidentally start up the treadmill. The deck is the belt area on which actual running, jogging and walking take place.A heart rate monitor is another useful feature to look for.
The newest models of treadmills come with many extra features.Purchasing fitness equipment over the Internet has grown at a fast pace over the past few years.
Treadmills are a very important investment, regardless of the price; if it’s not right for you, you don’t want to find this out after you’ve set the treadmill up at home. Once you’ve decided on the treadmill that you think is right for you, make sure to compare prices online.
If you plan to use a treadmill purely for walking you are not likely to need an expensive top-of-the-line machine. Commercial club treadmills are reliable and well constructed; do look into a home version. You’ll probably want to buy a unit with a motor that delivers 1.5 to 3 continuous horsepower.
Consider bringing your water bottle and towel to the treadmill store and try out their treadmills. To make sure that your treadmill is sturdy and comfortable and doesn’t operate noisily, step on it and test it out before you buy.
The first thing to consider when shopping for a home treadmill is the kind of use you need it for. If you’re looking for a heavy-duty treadmill that can withstand running as well as walking, be prepared to spend more money. Once your equipment has been up and running, lubricants and cleaners can be used to take good care of it.
It’s best to get a treadmill that has a warranty that lasts for at least a year. If there’s a treadmill you’ve enjoyed using regularly at your local gym or fitness center check to see if there’s a home version available in your price range.
Walking, whether on a treadmill or not, is one of the best approaches anyone can take toward fitness. Be careful, any type of jogging or running, whether on a treadmill or not, puts strain on leg and hip joints.
If you have severe leg conditions, a treadmill may not be the best choice of home exercise equipment for you. Better quality treadmills provide excellent cushioning to limit the impact on knees, ankles, hips and lower backs.
And remember, home exercise treadmills are a large investment financially and in your fitness and much thought and preparation should go into the purchase of any new treadmill.
Take time to do your research, the same way you would any major purchase and buying a treadmill won’t be difficult. Purchasing a treadmill can be overwhelming but with help from treadmill ratings and treadmill reviews you should be able to make an informed decision.

Question by aphrodisiacxx: What are some good abs exercises to get fit abs?
I have good abs already. But i want to improve myself more…before the new year begins. I need tips or fun exercises on youtube or something.

Answer by chastel22
contradictory to popular belief you have to do cardio to burn that excess flab off your abs, then your core exercises will show results. if you work out your abs, they will get stronger, but the layer of fat just sits on top of your muscles and prevents them from looking good.

Question by hahaha.: What are some good abs exercises for lower abs?
Any abs exercises you know of are helpful but im working specifically on lower abs.
Best answer:
Answer by Nate
Hey there,
Anything that works your upper abdominals will work your lower ones as they are all the same muscle the “rectus abdominus.” But if you really want to target the lower abdominals specifically then any movements that involve lifting your legs really work the lower abs and hip flexor muscles.
The best exercises are:
- Leg raises
- Hanging leg raises
- Reverse crunches
- Scissor kicks
- Hip thrusts
Hope this helps!
