7 Exercises That Will Transform Your Body by Sheenor: 12:35pm On Nov 29, 2014
Looking for some effective ways to transform уσυя body? There are a few great exercises that will help you to reach your fitness goal. These exercises are easy but effective in strengthening your body along with burning unwanted calories. However, sticking to these exercises is not enough to transform уσυя body, you should also eat healthy and get enough sleep regularly. Don’t waste your precious time doing other workouts, here are seven exercises that will help you transform your body in no time.


1. Jumping rope

When was the last time you jumped rope? Perhaps in your childhood. Jumping rope is a cheap and easily portable exercise that you can do almost anywhere.

This workout burns more calories per minute than
any other workout. Get jumping for a perfect
exercise and plenty of fun. One of the best things
about jumping rope is that you can do it with your
kids. Moreover, jumping rope is a fantastic way to fit in a highly effective cardio session when you are on the go. Simply toss your jumping rope in your carry- on and you don’t need to look for the nearest gym. So, who said jumping rope is only for kids?

2. Squats

The squat is a compound, full-body exercise that
works more than one muscle group. This powerful
exercise helps tone your glutes, strengthen your
body and burn a lot of calories. To boost your calorie
expenditure and raise your heart rate, you can try to
do jump squats. Or stay in a squat hold with
dumbbells in the hands to increase the resistance as
well as feel the burn. Doing squats regularly is one of
the best ways to transform your body as well as
improve your physical health. If you sit all day at
work or at home, you are at higher risk of serious
disease. Why not do several squats whilst waiting ƒoŗ your dinner to cook, the kettle to boil, or your PC to
boot up? Sometimes multitasking is a great thing!

3. Pushups

Unfortunately, many people avoid doing pushups
since this exercise is a bit harder to perform, but it
can do wonders for your body. There are plenty of
different pushups that work the different muscles in
the shoulders and arms. Try to vary your pushup
style to lower your risk of becoming bored with
exercise. Not only do pushups work the upper body,
but also work the core. Do pushups a few days a
week to help sculpt the arms and overall transform
the body. Plus, pushups are good for your heart and
cardiovascular health and this exercise helps to
improve your posture. Just make sure you do them
correctly – learn to do pushups with your back
straight to reduce back pain and avoid straining your
back.

4. Lunges

To tone the muscles in your legs try doing lunges.
Lunges give you such amazing results because they
isolate every leg individually, helping transform your
body. To add some cardio and boost the intensity, do
some jump lunges. I suggest you to do 3 sets of 10
lunges a day for the best results. Since lunges are a
very effective workout for strengthening, sculpting
and building a few muscle groups, why not do them
every day? Even if you have a super busy schedule,
you can still find time to do several lunges. Stop
making excuses and start exercising to transform
your body today.

5. Swimming

The great news for all lovers of swimming and for
those who are trying to transform their bodies –
swimming is a super effective workout that will bring
you astonishing results. Swimming helps strengthen
your core and work different muscle groups.
Swimming boasts numerous health benefits. It helps
to reduce your blood pressure, strengthen your heart
and improve your aerobic capacity. Plus, swimming
is a wonderful way for your family to get moving and
have plenty of fun together. Though, this exercise is
not as portable as jumping rope.

6. Running

There are many benefits of running. It helps to
relieve stress, improve your heart health, reduce the
risk of depression, burn mega calories and improve
your overall health. Running can actually transform
the body like nothing else. It builds strong, toned legs
and makes them look thinner. I enjoy running,
especially early in the morning, and I think it’s one of
the best exercises to do every day. I always feel a
great sense of accomplishment after my run. If you
don’t feel like running, try jogging. Not only does
jogging help to burn calories, it also helps to improve
your overall health.

Re: 7 Exercises That Will Transform Your Body by Sheenor: 12:39pm On Nov 29, 2014
7. Cycling

A cycling workout is a foolproof way to get a great
sweat and work your legs. Cycling is a wonderful
exercise since you can push yourself at a higher
intensity. It strengthens your legs, arms and back,
encourages your heart to work more efficiently and
aids in weight loss. Cycling is also one of the easiest
ways to fit exercise into your everyday routine since
it’s a great means of transportation. It gets you fit,
saves you money, and is good for your health. Bring
along your significant other or friend, or cycle solo,
and ensure you get the most out of your workout.

what matters in walking as a form of exercise is the amount of calories you burn : casual walking is totally different from brisk walking ;
i know we are all familiar with the cliche ; i work a lot in my garden , i dont know why i have not lost weight > the answer is simple ;
you are not burning enough calories because you are you are allowing a rest period while you are walking ... and unfortunately , your intake is ,most times, more than your output

that is the puzzle ; why do you think the average Nigerian man grapples with ''pot belly '' ?
the answer lies in the caloric maintenance ; we eat most times , more than our caloric maintenance and our level of metabolism is left at the
lowest ebb... so poor ; you can do all the work outs but if you don't address that , you will be pushing against the brick wall
