Before choosing the best exercises for the deltoid muscles, you should learn their structure. These muscles consist of three parts, and in order to achieve good results, you need to pay attention to each of them to ensure their harmonious development. And in this case, there is a whole set of exercises aimed at parallel and sequential working out of all ligaments of deltoid muscles.
Best Exercises for Deltoid Muscles
In order to have strong deltoids, you have to regularly train them, which is why we suggest you take a look at these exercises for deltoid muscles.
Sideways dumbbellsIf you are interested in building the back delta of the shoulder, then this workout is what you need. This exercise extensively involves not only the deltoid but also the trapezius muscles. Take the dumbbells with a neutral grip and lean forward slightly, keeping your back straight, and the dumbbells should now be raised to the ear level. To do this, you need to bend your elbows and take the starting position by slowly lowering your arms.
Front liftThrough this exercise, you can achieve excellent upper muscles and the muscles of the trapezium. Take the dumbbells while being in a sitting position. Lower your hands. Now you should lift the dumbbell to the point parallel with the floor. At the same time, the arm remains straight. When you reach shoulder level, stop. Lower the dumbbell in the same way. Do the same with the other hand.
Lifting sidewaysExperts recommend carrying out these exercises for effective pumping of the lateral deltoid muscles. The effectiveness of the exercise depends on the correctness of the exercise, therefore strictly follow these instructions: Stand up straight with dumbbells in your hands. Now slowly lift the dumbbells. Once the dumbbells are at your shoulder level, you should stay in this position. After that, slowly lower our arms, thereby returning to the starting position.
Barbells pressTake the shell on your chest, bring your elbows forward, tighten your abs, buttocks, and legs. Lift the bar up, lower it back and repeat. When the bar passes your face, do not lift it upper, but put it to yourself: this way the bar will go along the optimal trajectory. If at the top point the projectile remains in front of the body, and not above it, the load on the lower back increases. Therefore, try to take the barbell behind your head. Do three to five sets of six to eight reps.
Handstand push-upsThis exercise movement itself repeats the barbell press up in a reduced range. Stand in a handstand with your feet on the wall. Bend your elbows, lower yourself and touch the floor with your head. Put yourself back and repeat. Place your head on the floor more carefully (careless movements can damage your neck). To make the exercise easier, place something under your head, such as a rolled blanket or several thick books. To complicate things, place firm support under your arms. Perform as many times per set as you can. Do 3-5 approaches, depending on how you feel.
Wrapping Up
Developed deltoid muscles will make you look athletic and simply stunning, so if you dream of a beautiful body, make sure to do some of these exercises.

The Kardashians set many beauty trends and one of those trends is gorgeous buttocks. So in this article, we will discuss how to build gluteus muscles and consequently look as hot as Kim, Kourtney, Khloé. Let’s start with the anatomy. The gluteus consists of three main parts:
Gluteus maximus muscle, which is the largest muscle of the body. It helps to maintain balance while walking and running, allows the leg to move outward, and it is also responsible for the tightened (or not so) shape of the buttocks.
The gluteus medius is partially overlapped by the gluteus maximus. It is located in the upper pelvis. It participates in the abduction of the leg to the side, lateral bending, and stabilization of the body during movement.
Finally, the gluteus minimus is located under the medius muscle. Together they are responsible for abducting the leg and stabilizing the body, as well as for forming the hip line.
Workouts for Gluteus
It's not that easy to build gluteus muscles, especially if you are limited in time. But if you work out at least three times a week and never give up, you will quickly reach your goal. In order to help you achieve your goal, we prepared the best exercises for developing muscles of the gluteal region. So here they come:
Barbell/dumbbell LungesThis exercise is ideal for those who are interested in pumping up the top of the buttocks and at the same time the back of the thigh. Begin the movement by bringing each leg one at a time forward. The thigh should be parallel to the floor and the knee should be at the right angle.
Barbell SquatThis is one of the basic exercises that help effectively build this muscle. From the starting position - legs apart, lower the pelvis just below the knees. Do not bend your lower back and make sure your knees do not surpass your feet. The wider your legs are apart, the greater the load on the buttocks.
Romanian deadliftsStand upright with your back slightly arched at the lower back. Holding the dumbbells in your hands, bend over, pulling your pelvis back. Once you reach the spot just below your knees, return to the starting position.
Dumbbell Split SquatsThe exercise is performed with a straight back, with one leg taking a step forward and throwing the other one on a stand from behind. Squat and do the exercise for both legs.
Back LungesStart in a standing position, take a wide step back and lower into a lunge. Return to the starting position and repeat the exercise for the other leg. Do 20-30 repetitions for each leg, making sure that your knees are bent at right angles and do not protrude beyond your toes. It is important to take steps exactly backward while maintaining rhythm and balance.
Wrapping Up
Gorgeous buttocks are everyone’s dream come true and, luckily, it’s not that difficult to develop these muscles if you know the right workouts. So why don’t you use our guides and start moving toward your goal now?

Everyone wants to have beautiful hips. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to keep it in a nice shape. We have some exercises that will definitely help you work your hips out.
Best Workouts for Hips
Beautiful hips require some effort, so let’s take a look at some exercises for hips.
CrossingsThis deep inner thigh stretch will improve your hips and give you a boost of energy. Spread your legs wide with your feet facing outward. Bend your knees and lower yourself into a squat. Put your hands on your hips just above the knees, deepening the squat and stretching even more. Jump up and place your right foot in front of your left one, while landing, you should straighten and cross your legs. Return to the starting position and repeat the exercise with the other leg. Repeat the exercise, alternating legs, as many times as you can, for at least 40 seconds.
Knee squatsSquats with knees together are much better than regular squats for strengthening the inner thighs, quads, and hamstring. And in order not to waste your time, you can work on your hands at the same time. Stand up straight with your feet together. Take dumbbells, bend your elbows and touch the shoulders with the dumbbells. Do a squat with your knees bent and your hips back as if you were about to sit in a chair. Keep your legs together during the entire exercise. The weight should be on your heels. Now stretch your arms up. Return to the starting position without putting your weight on your toes. Do 10 reps.
Elbow plank with raising legsAdd leg raises to your regular elbow plank to improve the hips. Lie on your side, bend your right arm at the elbow and lean on it. Extend your legs so that your body becomes one straight line. Try to rest only on the outer edge of your right foot. Place your left hand on your thigh. Feel your spine stretch and your abs tighten, then lift your left leg just above your hip. Slowly lower it back down. Do not bend at the waist or lean on your shoulder, keep your weight on your elbow. Do about 15 reps for both sides.
Swings with bent legsThis is one of the most popular exercises for strengthening the buttocks and hips. It is suitable for everyone, does not require additional equipment, and does not involve the spine. With the help of swings, the back, front, outer and inner thighs are worked out - combo. Start in plank, palms - under the shoulders, knees - under the pelvis, keep the position of the back. On the exhale, we swing our leg, pushing the heel up; we perform 20 repetitions on each leg and four sets total.
Side lungesIf you are doing this exercise for the first time, you will not need dumbbells - first master the movements of the legs. Take a dumbbell in your right hand, lunge to the left, lowering your right hand to your right leg. Lower your hips as low as possible, resting on your heels. The toes are facing forward, the angle of the bent leg is 90 degrees. Pushing off with your left foot, go into a courtesy pose: the left leg goes back, and the right one goes forward. Raise your arm with the weight up. Both legs face forward. Keep your hips and legs taut. Repeat without returning to the starting position, but immediately moving from a squat to a side lunge. Do three sets of 10 reps, then switch sides.
Final Word
Beautiful hips are a reality if you know what to do, so why don’t you give these exercises a try and see everything yourself?

Push-ups, exercises with dumbbells, planks, and handstands - all these exercises require strong and flexible wrists and today we will tell you how to develop wrist strength and do exercises without pain and discomfort.
Gymnastics, climbing, crossfit, various martial arts - all these sports require strong wrists. In fact, wrist strength should be developed along with flexibility. This will help you cope with exercises that not only require good grip but also joint mobility. In addition to that, these muscles will allow you to train without pain or injury if you are learning to do a handstand or other challenging elements.
Exercises for the wrists are also useful for people who are not fond of sports. Warming up and stretching these muscles can help avoid tunnel syndrome, which is a compression of the median nerve between the bones and tendons. Warming up will help relieve muscle tension.
Exercises for Wrist Muscles
As you can see, working on your wrists is extremely important for both your health and the ability to do other exercises, which is why you have to know how to correctly develop these muscles. So let’s take a look at some wrist strengthening exercises.
Raising from Wrists to Fists
Sit on the floor with your legs bent under you. Place your hands on the floor on the back of your hand, fingers facing each other. With the strength of your wrists, try to move your hands and make fists. If this works out easily and without pain, transfer your weight to your hands and try again. Reduce the load if pain occurs. Repeat 15 times.
Dumbbell Rows
Place your forearms on a platform. Turn your wrists so that your palms are facing the ceiling. Take the dumbbell with your fingers and start lifting it with the power of your wrist. Start with small weights and gradually increase the load. Perform three sets of 8-10 reps.
Reverse Grip Body Bar Lift
You will need a body bar for this exercise. Unlike the barbell, it is lighter so you can practice without overexertion and pain. Grasp the body bar with a reverse grip, bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle. Open and tilt your palms slightly so that the body bar rolls onto your bent fingers. At the extreme point, the angle at the wrist should be 90 degrees. With the power of your wrist, lift the body bar back up. Perform four sets of 8-10 times.
Holding Dumbbells
Grasp the top of the dumbbells with your fingers. Hold as much as you can - 30 seconds or longer.
Hand Rotation with Dumbbells
Take dumbbells in both hands, bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle. In the starting position, the back of your hands should look up. Flip your hands over so that your fingers are on top, and then return to the starting position. Turning back and forth counts in one go. Perform four sets of 8-10 times.
Wrist Stretching
Sit on your knees, place your palms in front of you, fingers towards you. Pull your torso back, increasing the angle at the wrist. Hold at the extreme point for 3-5 seconds, come back and repeat. Do it 5-10 times.
Wrapping Up
Wrists might seem like insignificant parts of the body, however, you need to develop these muscles to be able to do many exercises. So if you want to improve your wrist muscles, make sure to do these simple workouts and you’ll quickly see the results.

Triceps might seem a little bit important but if you train other muscles and skip triceps exercises, eventually your body will look odd. The thing is you have to gradually develop all the muscles in your body, which is why skipping triceps workouts in favor of biceps exercises is something you want to avoid. So let’s talk about triceps and how to grow it.
Peculiarities of Training Triceps
The triceps are the key muscles in the arms. They account for up to 70% of the mass of the upper limbs, while biceps do about 30%. Moreover, if the biceps is a flexor muscle, which means that it is necessary for lifting weight, the triceps is an extensor. On the one hand, it is easier to develop triceps than other arm muscles due to some anatomical peculiarities. At the same time, the triceps can be easily overloaded, which will have a negative impact on any other exercises that involve the arms, for example, pull-ups and bench press. In other words, when training triceps, it is necessary to separate basic and isolation exercises. For example, you want to work on the pectoral muscles first and do 2-3 targeting exercises for triceps with dumbbells at the end of your workout.
How to Train Triceps?
Despite the fact that some exercises involve a certain part of the triceps to a greater or lesser extent, in the end, the entire triceps works in harmony. Thus, when training the triceps, you have to pay attention to the magnitude of the arm's range of motion as well as avoid trying to engage a specific part of the muscle. In this case, the mobility of the shoulder joint is very important, in fact, it has an impact on how much the muscle is loaded during the exercise.
How Often Should You Exercise?
If you want to build gorgeous triceps, you have to train at least twice a week. The total number of sets in triceps exercises should consist of 4-6 workouts, in other words, 2 exercises in 2-3 sets or 3 exercises in 1-2 sets. The number of repetitions should be about 8-15 repetitions in each set. To increase the efficiency of triceps training, we recommend alternating the load. You might want to start with an easy week and do functional exercises with light weight and high repetitions. Then you can move on to a medium one, then to a hard one, followed by one week of rest.
Workouts for Building Triceps
Finally, let’s have a brief look at some useful exercises that will help you build gorgeous triceps. So here they come:
Close-grip bench press
Lying triceps extension
Cable rope tricep pushdown
Diamond push-ups
One-arm overhead extension
Bench dip
Push-up
45-degree incline dumbbell chest press
Final Thoughts
The triceps is a very important muscle of our arms and, fortunately, it is relatively easy to build. Therefore, if you are dreaming of having gorgeous arms, make sure to start training your triceps muscles.
