HOW ABOUT SOME WORK-OUT?

Maintaining a good figure and ensuring a healthy lifestyle has become a must-strive-to-do activity in contemporary times. Having a fit body is a guarantee of good health. Your body needs to have the accurate amount of all nutrients to function properly, not an overdose.

What about exercising? It is evident that not only checking your diet works magic, but exercising decreases the number of hospital visits you have to make in the name of ill health. Stroke and heart disease could be lurking around if you take exercise for granted. Nobody wants that.

Regular exercise boosts metabolism, improves brain health, strengthens muscles and helps with blood circulation.

There’s also the issue of longevity. Exercising plays a vital role in helping you maintain a strong and healthy body despite your age. Wishing for a long life isn’t fun when it’s filled with loopholes for diseases.

Recommended here are some exercises you should try out at the gym or home, provided you have the equipment; as part of your regular lifestyle for fat loss and maintaining a youthful body.

Dumbbell Goblet Squat

Hold one dumbbell in front of your chest vertically. Push your hips back, maintain a firm core, and squat down until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Drive through your heels and hips to stand back up after that, finishing by engaging your glutes and quads. Finish three sets of 8–10 repetitions.

Dumbbell Reverse Lunges

These are performed by holding a dumbbell in either hand. Then move one leg backwards in a broad step. Firmly push your heel down into the floor, then lower yourself until your back knee hits the ground. To stand back up, push through with your front leg and repeat on the opposite side. Finish three sets of 12 repetitions on each leg.

Cable Rows

Take hold of the attachment on a seated row machine, and plant your feet firmly on the footpad. Straighten your legs completely after pulling the handle out. As you bring your elbows down towards your hips and tighten your back and lats to finish, make sure your chest stays upright. Before executing another rep, straighten your arms and give your shoulder blades a good stretch. Perform three sets of 12 repetitions each.

Inclined Dumbbell Bench Press

With a dumbbell in each hand, lie on an inclined bench. Hold the weights with your arms fully stretched straight up above you. As you lower the weights near your chest, tuck your shoulder blades back and down into the bench. When you press the weights back up to the beginning position, squeeze your upper pecs and triceps at the top while getting a good chest stretch at the bottom. Do three sets of 10 repetitions.
