When working out, most people pay more attention to their legs and waist and pretty often they forget about their arms. In fact, if you do not train your arm muscles, then over time, they will become the number one problem area. Luckily, you can easily avoid that by doing some simple exercises that will help you tighten your muscles, eliminate laxity, and improve relief. In addition, some arm exercises involve the spine muscles and eventually improve your posture.
At the same time, before embarking on a specific set of exercises, you need to tune in to a good result. As a matter of fact, it is pointless to wait for an instant effect but you should know that daily workouts will certainly make your arms look beautiful and fit. So let’s talk about arm strengthening exercises.
Warming Up
First of all, it is very important to warm up before you start doing any exercises, otherwise, you can get an injury. To prepare the muscles of the arms, you can do the following exercises:
Rotate the hands for 2-3 minutes
Do a simple scissors exercise
Stretch your arms above your head a few times
Warm up your hands by making fists for a couple of minutes
Basic Arm Exercises
The main set of exercises is performed with dumbbells. You want to start with taking dumbbells in your hands and raising your arms to the sides. While doing this exercise, you have to make sure that you raise your arms to the shoulder level as well as that you do it smoothly and slowly. Do at least 12 repetitions during each workout and you will see how your shoulder line transforms.
Let’s move on to the second exercise. Take your dumbbells and repeatedly bend your arms at the elbows. Repeat this exercise at least 12 times per training session.
The third exercise in this set is mainly for strengthening your triceps. This is the main exercise, which is aimed at strengthening the muscles of the most problematic area of your arms and it is performed as follows. Start in a standing position and slightly bend forward, take your dumbbells, bend your arms at the elbows, and pull them back a little bit. Slowly straighten your arms in this position. If the exercise is done correctly, you can feel the tension in your forearm muscles. The exercise is also repeated 12 times.
sh-ups for Triceps
The next exercise is push-ups. It will not only strengthen the muscles of your arms but also tighten the pectoral muscles. It is performed from a prone position. Bend your elbows 90 degrees, lower your body to a distance of about 15 inches from the floor and stay in this position for a few seconds, then lower yourself to the floor completely and again stay in this position for 3-5 seconds. Lifting is done in the same way. The exercise is repeated 16 times in two sets. If you can't do so many exercises at once, you can do more sets, increasing the number of exercises over time.
Correct Stretching
Once you are done with a strengthening workout, it’s time to stretch your muscles a little bit. Raise your right arm, bend it at the elbow and throw it behind the back. Lightly press on the elbow with your left hand and hold this position for 5 seconds. Repeat the same steps for the left hand. This simple exercise will help you relax your muscles after training as well as avoid or reduce muscle soreness.
Final Thoughts
Beautiful and strong arms is not a dream, in fact, it’s something you can achieve in a couple of months. So leave all your fears and doubts behind and start working out right now.

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?

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.

The hamstrings are often underestimated. Usually, training focuses on the quads and calves, but the hamstrings seem to be less important. However, it should be remembered that neglecting any muscle has aesthetic and health consequences that you can avoid by working with it well. The reason you shouldn't forget about these muscles isn't just because of the symmetry and the look of your body. A weak hamstring is one of the most common causes of injuries most professional athletes have.
Best Workouts for Hamstrings
The best way to strengthen your hamstrings is, of course, exercising. So let’s talk about these workouts.
Barbell 90The main benefit of this exercise is that you don't need lots of equipment, just a barbell. Start in a standing position with a barbell on your shoulders, keeping your back straight at all times. Bend your knees slightly, stretch your glutes, and bend forward 90 degrees. Then inhale and return back to the starting position. In addition to the hamstrings, this exercise will also strengthen your glutes and back.
HyperextensionHyperextension is a great exercise for the hamstrings, as well as the muscles in the lower back and glutes. Sit comfortably on the hyperextension machine with your heels firmly resting on the platform at the bottom of the machine. Cross your arms over your chest or behind your head. Smoothly lower yourself down until you feel a stretch in the muscles of the lower back and hamstring while inhaling. Without delay at the bottom point, straighten to the level of the starting position, exhaling. Then return to the starting position. Throughout the exercise, keep your head in line with the body, keep your back straight.
Tights upThis exercise can be performed on two horizontal bars on the playground, or simply put your feet on a chair or bench. We will describe the home workout option.
Sit on the floor with your feet on the chair. Raise the body on your hands so that the tights are up in the air. Bend your knees and lift your tights up so that your body is parallel to the floor. Do 7-8 reps.
One foot and dumbbellsThis exercise works well but requires a nice sense of balance. Take dumbbells in your hands, take one leg back and do not lower it to the floor until the end of the exercise. After that get to the previous position. Repeat this exercise a few times until you are tired.
Final Word
Hamstrings might seem insignificant but it doesn’t mean that you can skip working on these muscles. In fact, strong hamstrings will protect you from many injuries. So do not hesitate and start working on these muscles right now.

So first of all, you need to stand up slightly leaning forward. In the initial position, the dumbbells are at the bottom. Let’s take a breath and spread them apart, trying to raise them as much as possible. When you get them at shoulder level, pause and gently lower your arms.
Barbell pressIt’s the most effective exercise for building up your shoulders. It is also called a standing barbell press. It is easy to do, firstly you need to put your feet shoulder-width apart, take the barbell with a straight grip and raise it to the chest. After that, you need to exhale and raise the barbell up. After that, you need to stay in this position for a second and slowly lower the barbell to the starting position, while inhaling deeply.
