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.

Of course, everyone who is familiar with running knows the importance of strengthening the ligaments of the foot and ankles. Another thing is that sometimes it is hard to spend 5-10 minutes on training for ankle exercises: we dress, tie our laces - and run out into the street. That’s sad. After all, the good condition of the elastic ligaments reduces the risk of pain in the feet. And strong ankle muscles improve the power of the lower back and even the shoulders while running and just walking. Best Exercises for Strengthening Your Ankles Of course, there are plenty of good exercises that will help you work out your ankles, so without any further ado, let us have a look at those. Stretching towardsSit on the floor and straighten your legs in front of you. It is important to ensure that your thumb, little toe, and heel remain in the same direction as you pull the foot over. Only under this condition the muscles will be strengthened and stretched in a balanced way, which will prevent collapse on the outer or inner part of the foot while walking and running. When pulling the foot away from you, try to stretch your toes, as if you are making them longer and do not twist them under the foot. Repeat 15 times. RollingFrom a seated position with your feet in front of you, pull your feet as close to you as possible. Put your knees sideways, keeping your feet together. Keeping this position of the legs and resting with your hands on the floor, lean your body forward and raise your pelvis above the floor, trying to stay in position for a while. If you feel the potential in yourself, you can roll left and right, touching your feet with your palms. Ups and downs exerciseTraditionally, they are offered to be done on stairs, but slow doing on a flat surface will give an excellent result. Rise on your toes as high as possible, keep your heels in weight, and then bend your knees, pushing your heels forward. Place your heels on the floor, and only then straighten your legs. It is very important to make sure that your knees and ankles do not roll or fall. Dumbbell squatsSquats are good for developing your ankles and combined with dumbbells or a barbell (if you're already trained enough), this exercise becomes even more effective. Start with those dumbbells that you can lift 15 times without having to put them on the floor. For beginners, a weight of 2-3 kg is suitable. Bodybuilders need to lift more weight to build leg muscles. Perform squats as follows: stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart, arms with dumbbells at your sides and if you are doing an exercise with a barbell, hold it on your chest or behind your head. Sit down, bending your knees and lowering your buttocks to the floor. Keep your back straight and squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor. The knees should always remain directly over the feet; do not push your knees further than your toes. Push yourself back to the starting position. Do 2 sets of 10-15 squats. LungesKeep your torso straight and your shoulders back. Step forward and lower yourself until both your knees are at the 90-degree angle. Make sure that your knees do not protrude over your toes. Do two sets of 10 repetitions for each leg. Final Word Strengthening ankles is extremely important for both professional athletes and sports enthusiasts, so no matter if sport is your life or you work out just to keep in shape, you still need to work on your ankles.

Every athlete gets injured sooner or later, especially runners, and most injuries are in the ankle joint, inner and outer parts of the foot, etc. What can be the reason? Too much training, weights, and the distance you actually run.

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.
