Tighten Your Arms With an Isometric Exercise

This isometric exercise is geared toward those individuals who do not work out on a regular basis. You need to start somewhere and by using isometric exercises you are working against your own body weight verses weights. Most individuals starting a workout program using weights will tend to wake up with sore muscles.

With Isometric exercises you will be able to determine how much your body can handle. This specific isometric exercise will help you tighten up your under arm area.

Stand tall with your back touching a wall. Your arms are down at your sides with your palms touching the wall. The wall will now be your resistance. Push back on the wall with the palms of your hands. You will feel a tightening in your arms. Keep your elbows soft which means slightly bent and not stick straight.

An isometric exercise is getting a position – feeling your muscles tightening and then holding that position. The longer you hold that position the more intensely you will be working that muscle group. I personally recommend holding that position for 5 slow deep isobreathing breaths. That is equal to about 30 seconds. Then relax your muscles for one slow isobreathing breath and then go back into your isometric stance again and repeat for 2 more times. These three rounds of isometric exercise will be equivalent to approximately 3 rounds of 12-15 repetitions.

By performing this isometric exercise on a daily basis one time per day all three rounds – in just a few days you will start to feel your muscles tighter and in approximately 3 weeks you will start to see a difference in your arms. I find isometric exercise to be the kindergarten of exercise. You need specific body positioning so you can actually isolate muscles and feel them working properly. Isometric exercises help you get back to basics so eventually when you do lift weights for a work out variety you will know how your muscles should feel when being worked properly.

Hula Hoop Exercise – Stuff That You Need to Know!

Here’s some hula hoop exercise stuff I want to clear up for you in regards to using hula hoops for weight loss. Nothing complicated here, but some people are using the wrong ones and this is frustrating them. If you’re curious about how to “hoop it up” to lose weight, then take a couple moments to read this article now to GET THINGS STRAIGHT before doing something that will mess it all up for you.

Hula Hoop Exercise Stuff

1. You gotta get a weighted hula hoop

Without this, it’s pointless to even bother with this.. Spend the extra money, it’s only $15 or so at Wal-Mart… don’t go for the cheap $3-4 kid’s hoops. At first glance, you may think using a weighted hula hoop would make it fall to the ground more due to the added weight. Well, you’d be wrong. It’s the exact opposite. A weighted hula hoop rotates slower. Thus, it’s easier for you to twirl around your waist and control. End result… it isn’t falling to the ground every 5 seconds.

2. Get a bigger hula hoop… a 42 inch one

Again, this helps slow the twirls down… thus allowing you to comfortably shake your hips to control the hoop for minutes at a time instead of just a few short, frustrating seconds. The small ones rotate faster… think basic physics.

Once you get the bigger, weighted hula hoop, start hooping for a total of 10 minutes a day doing it 1 minute at a time. Within weeks you should notice some pretty big improvements in your waist, love handles, and hips.

With this hula hoop exercise information, you can’t help but to have fun getting a smaller waist and losing weight at home.

If you’re SICK and TIRED of getting the same old boring weight loss advice… you know, like “Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink 8 glasses of water, jog, and Blah Blah Blah”, then…
