The 3 exercises I want to talk to you about today are:
- Body weight squats
- Body weight lunges
- Dumbbell rows
If you are a beginner and want to shave off fat for Christmas these 3 exercises are a great start. Body weight exercises are good for you if you just starting exercising as they will not put over load on your body, thus not put it to injury. Since you just starting your exercises it is best to teach your body what this is all about and start at a lower level. If you go strait ahead to lift heavy weight and do push presses and the likes you will end up in hospital in no time!
This is dangerous. Teach your body how to exercise first in the lower levels, gain some confidence, feel your muscles working, lose some fat and calories, get fit and then step up. The rule of thumb is to keep the same exercise and routine for 6-8 weeks, because this is the time when your body get used to the exercises and stop responding and you need to change your routine.
3 Great Cardio Exercises to Burn Fat and Calories for Beginners:
- Dumbbell rows. Position yourself in a push-up position with your hands on two dumbbells. Choose weight that you can lift yet challenges you but not too heavy. Row one dumbbell up towards the side of your body while stabilizing your core with the other arm. Bring the dumbbell back to the ground and alternate the rowing arm while stabilizing yourself with the opposite arm. This stabilizing effect during the row creates incredible work for your entire midsection core area. Trust me, you will feel it in your abdominal. It is good to do 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or 5 sets of 5 reps.
- Body weight lunges. Stand with feet at shoulder width. Lunge forward to the point where your thigh is almost parallel to the floor. Make sure to take a long enough step so that your knee does not extend past your toes and your shin is nearly vertical (for knee safety and proper functioning). This will work your thigh muscles. When you step back shuffle and lunge forward with your other leg. Always make sure to make a long enough step forward so that the exercise will have an effect.
- Body weight squats. The rule of thumb with squatting with or without weights is to consult first with a personal trainer as to how to do this correctly so that you do not injure yourself. Stabilize the barbell on your shoulders by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar against your shoulders and keep your elbows straight out in front of your body. Front squats require really high level of stability and strength from your abdominal because of the weight witting in front of your body and not the back. Squats are working your legs but also (in a big way) your core and abdominal.
Make sure you have little or no rest between each exercise for maximum effect.
