Five Must-do Exercises, don't put all that hard work in for nothing!

Hi all, 

I hope that you are all doing well and sticking to those fitness goals you have set in place for yourself. I myself am on a fitness mission, I have 37 days! I'm headed to my favorite place in the world Coachella music festival! Every Friday I will be posting my workout from that week, so stay tuned for that! 

 I have talked before about how important it is to lift weights! Below are 5 exercises you don't want to miss and I'll tell you why! Let's take a look! 

Deadlifts

Deadlifts are a full body exercise, it stimulates just about every muscle in the body. Deadlifts hit the legs, back, traps, abs, obliques, etc. Deadlifts are a must for building a fully developed body.

Squats

Squats are perhaps the most effective exercise you can do for overall leg development. Free-weight barbell squats are a compound exercise that hits the entire upper leg, quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. These are a must for sexy, toned legs.

Lunges

Lunges are great for targeting the glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Lunges will help tighten up your legs and butt and give you the curves you want.

Pull-Ups

Pull-ups work the muscles of the back, biceps, and forearms. Most gyms have an assisted pull-up machine, so if you cannot do pull-ups with your bodyweight, this machine will allow you to do pull-ups with less than your bodyweight.

Dips

Dips work the muscles of the chest, shoulders, and triceps. Dips are a great exercise for overall upper body development, especially the shoulders and triceps.
Most gyms have an assisted dip machine, so if you cannot do dips with your bodyweight, this machine will allow you to do dips with less than your bodyweight.

These are all awesome exercises that you need to incorporate in your workout. These exercises allow you to hit multiple muscle groups at one time. Meaning that they will also help you build muscle in less time with less effort, while turning you into a fat burning machine!

I hope you enjoyed and it was helpful! If you weren't including these in your workout make sure you add them. Also, make sure you log your weights, you don't want to stay at the same weight weeks on end, you aren't doing yourself any good. Your weight needs to be challenging, a good rule of thumb is your last 3 reps should be difficult. Now go get your lift on! :)

Pistols...Out!
