How To Lose Fat Efficiently - Top 3 Body Weight Routine Exercises For Your Arms
Exercise No1: The Push Up Yes, this is the push up. But don't jump over this tip saying to yourself that you know how to do it. Read the instruction and try to follow them closely and then you most probably will find out that the push up done this way is really efficient: Assume the regular pushup position, with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width and your elbows pointing out, to the left and the right of you. Lower yourself slowly into the stretched position, pause briefly, and return to the top of the movement under control, contracting your chest muscles and keeping your arms slightly unlocked. When you can do 15 or more of these, try this exercise with your feet elevated on a couch or bed. This will make the exercise harder and force you down to fewer repetitions, allowing for greater progress. Exercise No2: The Towel Row This is a great exercise once you get the hang of it. However, be careful while you are doing this, as you might fall down while stretching yourself. Just follow the instructions closely and start slowly: Roll a towel up and grab it with both hands about six inches apart. Loop this space in between your hands on the towel around door knobs of a nearby door. Slide your grip down to the end of the towel and place your feet next to the door. Lean back and get into a squatting position with your arms extended so that you feel a stretch in your back muscles. Using your hands, pull yourself toward the door handles, pausing briefly at the top or contracted position. Return slowly to the starting position and feel that stretch in your lats. You can make this exercise harder by leaning back further. Exercise No3: The Towel Lateral Raise This exercise has the potential to grow your shoulders really big and to substitute all dumbbell exercises you might think of if done correctly. The important thing here is to apply the right pressure with the one arm and then resist it with the other - as if you are fighting with yourself! The detailed instructions are: Grab each end of a rolled up towel with each of your hands about 2 feet apart. Pull with one hand out to your side, as you would if performing a dumbbell raise. While you’re pulling, resist with the opposite hand. This exercise is unique in that every rep should feel like a near maximum effort. Once you hit failure, reverse it and start with the opposite arm. This will really get your shoulders cookin’! These were my top three tips for exercising your arms using your body weight. Well, you need a towel as well, but no extra weights. With these exercises you should be able to give your arms and especially your shoulders a great workout that will replace your regular gym workout.
