With all of the
drinking and fast food in our lives it seems hard to keep off the pounds. It
seems more important than ever to be in shape in what seems to be a very vanity
driven world, thank you Hollywood. I know some of us are getting gym
memberships or have had them and have fought with that dedication and drive to
want to really work at it. I get it guys, pain is guaranteed but the torment is
a choice and honestly this trunky fuck often chooses comfort over the pain and
torment. It is ten times easier to watch Netflix and eat snacks all day but
what kind of life is that? One I want to get away from, so I want to tell you
guys about…
The 12 Exercises You
Needed To Get Sexy!
Pushups
We all know how to do
a pushup, maybe not the right way but the general idea. This is a very basic
workout that you can adapt into new ways. Pushups help define all of your
bodies’ muscles and improve posture while increasing testosterone levels.
Planks
Plant
your hands under your shoulders, or slightly wider apart, tighten your body,
tuck your chin, and just hold it. Another very adaptable exercise; there are
side planks, low planks, even wood planks. Doing planks helps build deep inner
core muscle and helps create a toned belly.
Glute Bridge
This
one is new to me, lie on your back and separate your legs shoulder width apart.
Point your knees toward the ceiling and lift your torso up while contracting
your abs. You are basically air humping at the ceiling. Glute Bridges help with
core stabilization and firms the glutes.
Spider Lunges
Another new one also
known as Spiderman Lunges, first, you get into a position that looks like you
are at the top of a pushup. Then step forward with one leg and bring it next to
the exterior of your elbow then step back. Repeat the process for each leg.
Spider Lunges work most of the major back muscles and the muscles used for a
pushup.
Plank Taps
These are just like
the plank where you hold yourself up like a pushup but alternate lifting one
arm and touching the opposite shoulder. This is really just an added hardship
to planks.
Squats
We all know how to do
squats right, keep your back straight and drop down while bending at the knees
then come back up. Squats work out the entire body and burn more fat, and
ladies they make the ass look great!
Side Lunges
Hold your chest
straight and lunge to the left or right while keeping one foot planted. It
looks similar to a football player trying to break away from a defender. Side
Lunges help build lower body mass and define the butt as well.
Squat Jumps
Just like doing a
squat but you come up and do a jump into the air. The Squat Jump works all of
the same muscles as a squat and then some and the deeper the drop the more
calories you burn.
Jumping Lunge
Step one foot out and
bend it at the knee to 90 degrees while lowering on the other but don’t let it
touch the ground. Push up and jump in order to switch feet and repeat the
process. Jump Lunges work the hamstrings along with other lower body muscles
but remember to warm up before doing this exercise or all of them.
Single-Leg Deadlift
This one looks like a
yoga move. Stand up straight, tighten your core and put all of your weight on
the planted leg. Raise one leg behind you while keeping the toes pointed at the
ground and bending at the hips. Return to upright and repeat the process. These
reps require great balance and are great for strengthening your non-dominate
leg.
Reverse Lunges
Much like a lunge but
instead of stepping forward you step back with one leg while bringing the other
down to 90 degrees. Reverse Lunges help make you more flexible and improve
endurance.
The Walkout
No, this is not where
you throw your hands up and walk out of the gym, the exact opposite. Start by
standing up straight, bend at the hips and place your hands on the ground. Once
you have your balance start walking your hands forward until you end up in a
held pushup position. Walk your hands backwards so you return to standing
position and repeat the process. Walkouts work the abs, and those pesky love
handles along with the legs.
Mixing any of these
exercises into sets of 10 with repetitive circuits can help you burn fat, gain
muscle, improve posture, and make you DAMN SEXY!
Keep in mind though
that any good exercise routine requires cardio and a good diet so put some work
into it!
