March 18, 2008If stronger arms and muscles are your new fitness goal, here are five ideas for exercises that may help you achieve the best results:
Exercise #1:
Stay on an inflatable ball with your knees bend and your feet on the floor. Keep your back straight and look forward. Stretch your arms forward and grab the skipping-rope fixed at the opposite end. Pull the skipping rope to your chest, and then relax your arms. If you feel the ball moving back and forward, this means you need to increase the speed.
Exercise #2:
Stay on an inflatable ball, on a bench, or on the bed. Crouch but keep your legs spread and your arms besides your body. Hold one weight in each hand and lift your arms sideways.
Exercise #3:
Stay on the belly with your arms and legs perfectly stretched. Now lift your limbs simultaneously. If you want to increase the difficulty of this exercise, keep your legs away from the floor and try to stay in that position.
Exercise #4:
Stay on the back with your legs stretched and hands sideways. Bend the left knee and catch it with the right hand. Stay in this position for a few moments, and then repeat the exercise for the other foot. Spin your body as much as you feel comfortable. Stretching exercises are not meant to cause you pain.
Exercise #5:
Stay on the back with your knees bent. Use a medicinal ball or any type of ball do a few imaginary throws to the basket. The moves should be large and your arms stretched over the head.
