Commonly Practiced Tummy Exercises

Tummy exercises are aimed at achieving a toned belly by burning fat from the stomach. These exercises work best when combined with appropriate food intake and resistance training exercise. The combination of these three factors enables the body to turn into a fat burning machine, thus reducing the fat found around the stomach. The most important point here is that you have to reduce calorie intake in order to decrease weight. Calories have a lower metabolic rate and they can easily result into weight gain even when practicing tummy exercises.

Squats An Exercise Icon

 

 

 

You are not truly complete when it comes to being physically mature and well developed in the lower body region without squats. Squats are considered a top notch super power exercise that can’t be ignored. Ladies tend to think that if they perform squats they will develop these huge manly muscles and that is not necessarily the case. You can perform squat and get a highly shredded lower body and yet lean and feminine enough in appearance. If you are into becoming really muscular and bulky like a bodybuilder then you would most likely do heavy weight with low reps; for example doing 6-10 sets of 5-8 reps per set would bulk you up in a fairly short amount of time. As opposed to you trying to get lean, strong and shredded; to get that well defined lean appearance you have to focus on light weights and doing high reps, for example 3-6 set of 10-15 reps per set. Doing such a workout regularly will keep a woman lean yet feminine not to mention the boost in self confidence. Being physically fit give you a good feeling the sense of physical proudness and we have not even begun to talk about the release of endorphins during and after a good set of squats; performing deadlift gives you a similar feeling which is unlike any other type of strenght training exercise except possibly the clean and jerk movement.

These are some of the most anabolical exercises know to man. They will make you physical strong, lean, and energetic more that any other strength building exercise.
