Exercise Weights

Working Out with Exercise Weights

An excellent way in which to increase your fitness, cardio, strength and muscle mass is to workout with exercise weights. Exercise weights are weights which you can hold in your hands, that whilst not being too heavy, provide your muscles with great stimulation when exercising, which then aids you in fitness and overall strength.

The exercise weights I personally use are a pair of dumbbells which weigh 2.5kg each. With these dumbbells, there are many exercises which can be performed, and which aid you in your fitness greatly. For example, if you grab the dumbbells, so you're holding one in each hand, and then you do start jumps. As you do these star jumps, your arms flail out to the sides, but you make sure your in full control of your arms, and therefore the dumbbells at all times, therefore challenging your body as much as possible.

Another exercise which can be performed with these are to box whilst running on the spot. The idea is that you run on the spot, and at the same time throw straight punches, one after the other, whilst gripping onto the dumbbells with your hands. Personally, I prefer to do these types of exercises accompanied with music, as it helps me to take my mind of things, allows me to focus, and at the same time the rhythm of the song playing in the background allows me to find a rhythm with which to flow.

These are just two of the ways in which you can workout using exercise weights, or dumbbells. One thing to note however is that Rome wasn't built in a day. By that I mean, if you're a beginner, you need to start of slow and work your way up. Don't immediately pick up the heaviest dumbbell with which to workout with, start gradually and work your way up, or else you could be risking yourself a serious injury.

Weights on the Ball Workbook $15.95 Weights are great for working the arms and upper body, and the exercise ball produces exceptional results in the core abs and lower body. With exercises suited for all skill levels, Weights on the Ball Workbook shows how to simultaneously use both pieces of equipment for the ultimate total-body workout. Just sitting on a bench while performing arm curls leaves abdominals doing virtually nothing and leg muscles completely relaxed. Sit balanced on the ball while doing those same curls and a simple arm movement explodes into a total-body exercise as the mid- and lower-body stabilizer muscles are forced to work equally hard. Weights on the Ball Workbook teaches combination exercises like seated curls as well as dozens of specially designed movements that fully utilize the potential of this unique equipment tandem. In addition to programs that are easily tailored to individual fitness levels, Weights on the Ball Workbook describes proper training methods and explains how to achieve specific goals by varying the workout and carefully monitoring the number of repetitions. Last but not least, the author shows how to have fun and enjoy a workout that produces results in half the time of a traditional workout.

Weights for Weight Loss $15.95 Everyone knows that dieting without exercise doesn’t work. But not all exercises are equally effective.

The book features exercises for all levels of fitness, from beginner to advanced. Each exercise is clearly explained with step-by-step instructions and photos that show proper technique. Weights for Weight Loss's specialty programs include "The 10-Minute Body Blitz," which hits all the major muscle groups; "The 30-Minute Cardio Circuit," where exercises are performed at a fast pace with no rest in between; and "The 30-Minute Super Sculpt," where heavier weights are used for three sets in a row to exhaust muscles one at a time.
