Nudging Over 50 And Never Workout – It’s Not Too Late!
Article by Bart R
Just like many things in life it is not too late to start off exercising. For folks nearing or attaining the age of 50 or older and who believe starting an exercise program can be a waste of time then think again.
Becoming overweight can be a basis of amusement to a few but the fact is it is no laughing matter as well as the sooner you commence doing something about it the better for your overall health disposition.
Make sure before you start any workout or exercise program to check your health with your doctor.
Where to Commence – The Gym
Deciding to begin is straightforward…getting started is the hard step. One of the greatest tips you will get would be to head to your nearby gym and talk with one of their instructors. You are not usually obligated to part with any funds in your initial assessment and it’s going to give you a chance to see what they have got to recommend.
Gym memberships are very reasonably priced today and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the bonuses new members are presented. One tip… steer clear of locking yourself into a lengthy term contract. Make sure and ask about the month-to-month rates.
Walking
It is such a pure form of exercise yet many still resist the desire to get their legs moving and take a walk. A 30 minute walk can provide such benefits including heart conditioning and stress relief and whilst experts agree 3-4 walks of 30 minutes in duration is beneficial, once you’ve reached an excellent fitness level you need to consider about expanding this to at least five walks per week.
Swimming
Swimming like walking provides outstanding fitness features. In fact, taking out a gym membership just to be able to use their pool amenities is a superb way to keep in shape.
For persons who like a little far more variety why not incorporate walking and swimming as part of your weekly exercise routine. For example, take 3-30 minute walks per week and then swim two times a week. Or reverse it by swimming three times a week and walking two times. Better yet, try mixing them up on a regular basis.
Home Based Exercise
No one should use the excuse that they do not have the time to exercise. Household exercise has become far more popular with the increased more sophisticated exercise equipment that’s obtainable. However, you don’t need to spend a fortune on this equipment.
Stretching exercises are excellent. Yoga and Pilates are great options to perform at home. An exercise bike routine bundled with a few stretching exercises must not be underestimated. Here is a workout worth looking at once you achieve an acceptable fitness level. Remember do not attempt this until you check with your doctor.
1. Carry out a 10 minute stretching routine with leg, chest and arm muscles.
2. Now do 10 minutes on the exercise bike averaging 10-12mph.
3. Next do sit-ups… 25 at a time and try and do four sets…or your best.
4. Finish with push-ups. Do a set of 10 rapidly followed by 30 seconds on the exercise bike at its most resistant level that you can handle. Repeat this four times and take at least 30 seconds to one minute break during sets.
5. Carry this procedure out at least twice a week.
This routine is targeted to a lot more advanced level of fitness but is superb for “blowing out the cobwebs.”
Remember, constantly check with your doctor to ascertain your level of fitness prior to beginning any exercise. Fitness aids our health and well-being and not only tunes our bodies but also sharpens our minds.
Never think it’s too late….because it is not!

Dumbbell Pullover Good For Adding An Inch To Your Chest
The dumbbell pullover is perhaps one of the best chest exercises there is but it also the most underused! Most people don’t know off it and many people don’t use it the right way when trying to build their Pecs or chest muscles
Here is how to perform this chest workout, simply Lie flat on your back on a flat bench press machine. Grab a heavy dumbbell and hold it above your chest
And with your elbows slightly bent, gently lower the dumbbell back so that you get a deep stretch with your arms (and the dumbbell) back behind your head as far as you can stretch.
Your arms and dumbbell will be lower and behind your head and will drop down below the bench- this is the best part of the dumbbell pullover as it expands the rib cage and builds your chest muscles.
This will really give you a great stretch! Return the dumbbell to the start position slowly; make sure to keep your elbows locked in the slightly bent position.
The key to this chest exercise is to make sure you go deep on the stretch and make sure you don’t rest on top you want a continuous motion.
For this chest workout you also want to take deep breaths as you stretch and exhale as you come to the top of this chest exercise.
]]>
Use a spotter to help you take the dumbbell pullover chest workout to failure. You need to make sure that the set so hard and that you actually train to positive muscular failure.
Perform this once a week and if you diet is up to par and you are using a good chest workout like the massive chest program which will ensure that you build a big chest.
If you want chest size and you want to build your chest muscle pay attention here
What I am about to share with you is perhaps one of the best chest workouts you will do:
It is made up of two exercises –namely the dumbbell pullover and the breathing squat
Squats work to build your chest because they allow the expanding of the rib cage and also induce a hormone spill over effect which builds not only the chest muscles but the entire body!
.breathing squats are the same as the regular squat –the difference is how you breathe
Here is how to do the dumbbell pullover
Simply lay flat on your back on a flat bench with a heavy dumbbell over your chest
Now with your elbows slightly bent, gently lower the heavy dumbbell back so that you get a deep stretch with your arms (and the dumbbell) stretched out and back behind your head as far as you can stretch. . understand that your arms and the dumbbell will be lower and behind your head as you lower the weight, when you go as low as you can ,simply reverse the motion and come up to the start position
I won’t go into detail on how to squat because it should be obvious!
The only difference with the breathing squat is that you will breathe as follows
Before you do a repetition of the squat make sure you take three deep breaths, so before you perform each repetition you will take 3 very deep breaths
You do this until you can no longer safely perform another repetition.
The key to both chest exercises is to have a spotter –a spotter will make sure you take sets to positive failure safely
Use a medium to heavy weight- the stretch is very important on the dumbbell pullover. It is this chest exercise which expands the rib cage and gives you the pectoral size you need.
Here is the sequence of this chest workout
You perform a set of dumbbell pullovers and when you are done you immediately run to the squat rack and perform the breathing squat
This is one set! You need only three sets of this chest exercise!
Always remember to be effective this chest exercise has to ne done strictly and as explained above
To get the most out of this chest exercise make sure to take in enough calories as specified in the massive chest program

The Ultimate 30 Minute Home Workout
Article by Nitin Chhoda
Home exercise is one of my favorite ways to get in shape, since I began working out at home (could not afford a gym membership). Working out at home involves choosing the right home fitness equipment, and it’s sad that the buyer recieved inadequate information about diet and exercise.
No wonder people tend to get frustrated. No wonder the equipment turns into an EXPENSIVE clothes hanger.
There is a simple solution for those who cannot get to a gym, live too far away, or just don’t want to go to a club and want a fast, effective workout. Here are the steps you need to take to ensure results.
STEP 1: Invest in dumbbells and a bench. If you’ve got a few bucks, go to a fitness equipment dealer and get some dumbbells and an adjustable bench. For women, start with 3′s, 5′s, 8′s, 10′s, 12′s, and 15 lb. db’s. For the guys, go to 50′s (in increments of 5 lb. per db).
STEP 2: Set up your workout space. Basements seem to be a popular choice, bedrooms are a distant second. Whatever you choose is fine. Also, so that you can make sure you’re doing your exercise correctly, put a full-length mirror on your wall, or get one. Your choice. No one else is watching you but you, so if you want better results (and safety!), put up a mirror.
STEP 3: Set aside 30 minutes at least four times a week, to do your strength training. You can go up to 6 days if you want – just be sure you’re splitting up your body parts accordingly. For instance, one day you do back, chest, biceps, and calves; the next day do shoulders, triceps, legs, and abs. Use a similar arrangement for the 4-day workout. It doesn’t matter when you do it during the day, as long as you get the workout in.
STEP 4: The dumbbell strength training routine. Here are the best dumbbell exercises to do – the ones that get the most muscle worked in the least amount of time:
* Back – Db bent over row
Grab a pair of db’s (use common sense for how much weight); hold them at your sides while standing straight up. Pull your shoulders back, and stick your butt out as you bend forward. Your back should be nice and flat. When your upper body is parallel to the ground with arms straight, you’re in the starting position. Now, picture yourself rowing a boat. Use that action to pull the db’s up and back, towards your hips. Lower and repeat, in control.
* Chest – Db flat bench press
Grab your db’s and lie down on the bench, with your lower back pressed into the cushion. Lower the db’s until they’re directly beside your chest, push up and in an arc until they’re above your chest. Feel the stretch at the bottom, feel your chest muscles working as you go up. Lower and repeat.
* Legs – Db squat (guys) or Lunge (women)
For the squat: db’s are at your sides. When you lower yourself, pretend you’re sitting down on a chair. Be sure to stay on your heels, and keep your torso tight to support your spine. When you can feel yourself bending too far forward as you go down, that’s your signal to push back up.
For lunges: db’s at your sides. Keeping your torso rigid as a 2×4, take a big step forward with one leg. After your foot has planted, lower your hips until you’re just about to touch the ground with your trailing knee – without actually touching. Push back with your front leg. Do all your reps with one leg before switching.
* Shoulders – Standing db shoulder press
Standing with your abs nice and tight to support your spine, raise the dumbbells until they’re even with your ears. You should see in the mirror a straight line from your left elbow to your right elbow. Push the db’s over your head in an arc – be sure to keep the db’s moving ABOVE your head, not in front.
* Calves – standing calf raise on basement step
Place both feet on the step so that you’re positioned on the balls of your feet. Keep your legs straight, abs tight, butt tucked in. Lower your heels to the ground maintaining that tight position with the rest of your body. Raise up as far as you can, up to your tippy-toes. Lower and repeat.
* Biceps – db standing curl
Your arms should be straight, holding the db’s with your palms facing forward. Place your arms at your sides, and then raise the db’s, bending ONLY your elbows. Keep your back and shoulders out of it. Bend the elbow, straighten the arm.
* Triceps – db triceps kickback
Take the same position as the bent over row I mentioned a moment ago. Raise your arms to your sides, and then keep them there. From that position (your elbows should be bent at 90 deg.), straighten your arms until they’re straight as an arrow. Bend your elbows (but keep your arms up!), and then straighten your arms. It’s just the reverse action of db standing curls.
* Abs – See 90 Seconds To Flatter Abs
Ultimately you’ll be able to finish a complete workout even WITHIN 30 minutes! Get to work!
STEP 5: Focus on what you DO, rather than what you haven’t done. Stop beating yourself up if you only get three workouts in a week, instead of 4, 5, or 6. If you haven’t been working out consistently lately, that’s three more workouts that you’ve done in a long time, isn’t it? Be easy on yourself and build up over time. It’s the way I went from being a 280 lb teenager to a 200 lb full-time personal trainer in less than 2 years!

Muscle Building Workout
by Hamilton of bodybuilding4everyone.com
*A lot of people wants to “get ripped†or just “tone up†and they don’t want to get “REALLY BIG†or some would like to put on more “MUSCLE MASSâ€; but how do you expect to reach any of this goals if you don’t have a foundation to build up from. For starters in able to “get ripped†or “tone up†you will need to build MUSCLE!!! You can’t have the “ripped†or “toned†look if you don’t have any muscles to show when you burn off excess fat; at the most you’ll just look skinny or flat with some shape. Also don’t worry about getting “Really Big†if you’re afraid of that because realistically if you can’t even build the right amount of muscle to look “ripped’ or “toned†how do you expect to get “Really Bigâ€. And the same rules apply if you’re goal is to put on “Muscle Mass†except you’ll have to eat alot more and don’t expect to look “Ripped†while putting on “Muscle Mass†because you will put on some extra body fat with all the food you’re ingesting.
Â
* Another issue on working out is the misconception on the types of workout or exercise to do. Actually its quite simple you lift WEIGHTS and you’ll grow muscles. Notice the word “WEIGHTS†which is commonly used for WEIGHT-LIFTING, somehow the meaning of “WEIGHTS†in WEIGHT LIFTING evolved and became more on Cable Pulling (with the exception of Lat Pull-Downs and Seated Cable Rows ) and a variety of “Weightlifting†movements along with an EXERCISE BALL!!!??? What the …. is that!!?? Lifting weights can be dangerous if your just getting accustomed to it, but lifting weights and balancing on top of an exercise ball??!!! Now how in the hell can you lift maximum weight to stimulate muscle growth and balance your self on top of a freaking ball – you can’t!!! Furthermore you need to know what your primary goal when your working out – Is it your balance? Or is it to build muscle & burn fat? Ok, I guess that takes care of my rant about exercise balls.
Now lets review cables – cable workouts are great, but it seems that a lot of people do more cable exercises than lifting weights. It may work well, but don’t you think your bicep will respond more if you are to do Barbell Curls instead? Let’s face it – Its obvious that alot of people rather do cable exercises because its alot easier than working with actual barbells & dumbbells plus majority of Muscle & Fitness Magazines endorse cable exercises more than Barbells & Dumbbells. I guess its easier to stick with the cables than weights, but are you happy with your gains? Don’t you think you’ll get more results from lifting heavy dumbbells & barbells? How do you think the best athletes, bodybuilders, and actors built their physique? Not primarily from using Cable Exercises and Exercise Balls…
]]>
Â
*Exercise Selection – Why is it that 80-90% of gym members are always working on their arms? And they even come up with their own versions of arm workouts!!! Don’t get me wrong – these people have awesome arms, but what happens to the rest of their body part? Or did they forget that they also have to work on their Chest, Back, Lower Back, Abs, Thighs, Calves, Hamstrings, Shoulders…etc? I know its easy to get carried away and just work on your arms or just upper body, but don’t forget that you’ll look much symmetrical or balanced if you work on all your muscles from upper body to lower body. Plus you’ll developed over all strength and also burn more body fat because you have more muscles on your body. Now that I got that out of my system, lets get started on selecting the right exercise to put on muscle and lose fat.
Â
* Compound Movements: Compound movements are exercises that involves several muscles working together to lift the weight. These exercises are the best ones to concentrate on because it will build your muscles evenly. Also saves you more time in the gym since you’re only doing one exercise to work a group of muscles.
Â
The following exercises are great primary workouts you’ll ever need whetter you’re trying to lose weight, tone-up, or build muscle:
Â
Dead-Lifts – This exercise mainly works the lower back, but also puts alot of stress on your Traps, Delts, Arms, Forearms, Abs, Upper Back, Thighs, Hamstrings, and calves.
Â
Barbell Squats – This is the best exercise to build your Quads(thighs), Gluttes(Buttocks) and to a certain extent Hams (Hamstrings); this workout also works your abs and upper body since you have to balance barbell behind your neck across your shoulder.
Â
Incline/Flat Barbell or Dumbbell Bench Press – Incline will work upper chest area and Flat obviously hits the lower area of your chest. I don’t see the point of doing Decline Bench since Flat Bench already takes care of that. This is the best work out to build your chest and also works your Triceps, Shoulders, Forearms, and back (supporting muscle).
Â
Dips(weighted or bodyweight) – great exercise for lower chest area and also works triceps, and upper back (supporting muscle)
Â
Barbell/Dumbbell Shoulder Press (aka Military Press) – This exercise works all three heads of shoulder muscle from the front, side, and back – but with more emphasis on front & side area of shoulders. T this exercise also works your triceps, forearms, and upper back (supporting muscle)
Â
Upright Rows – Also works all three heads of shoulder with emphasis on traps, side & rear delts.
Â
Barbell Rows – Great workout to build upper back area; this exercise works your lats, rear-delts, traps, forearms, biceps, and lower back.
Â
Seated/Standing Calf Raises – Point your toes straight and these workout will work your calves really good!!!
Â
Barbell Curls – Great workout to put on muscle on your bicep; also works your forearms, grip, and shoulders
Â
Reverse Grip Barbell Curls – Great workout to separate outside head of bicep muscle. Also puts alot of stress on forearms, grip, and shoulders.
Â
Close Grip Flat Bench press – This is a chest workout, but when you move your arms closer in the middel it shift’s gear and puts more stress on all three heads of tricep.
Â
* Isolation Movements: Isolation movements are exercises that works no more than 2 muscle groups.
Â
The following are great isolation movements to compliment compound workouts:
Â
Dumble Laters – great workout to define shoulders or to work on lagging muscle.
Â
Cable Exercises – Yes Cable, their mostly isolation because that’s what their built for – to isolate certain muscle groups such as tricep, biceps…etc
Â
* How Many Sets?
Â
Big body parts such as Chest, Back, Thighs should be around 12-15 sets – ONCE A WEEK. Once a week?!! YES – Once A Week; remember that muscles grow outside the gym not inside the gym. That means your muscle need to recuperate and in able for it to recuperate it will need to rest…
Â
Smaller body pars such as Arms, Delts, Calves should be around 8-10 sets or less and should be incorporated after working on a bigger bodypart. For instance Day 1- Squats, Day 2- Chest & Arms, Day 3 – Deadlifts & calves, Day 4 – Back & Shoulders…etc
Â
NOTE: Be aware of your weak body parts such as calves & abs so you may want to work this in as a third workout with the rest untill its up to par with the rest of your bodyparts. i.e. Day 1 – Squats, Calves, & Abs, Day 30Deadlifts, Calves, & Abs, Day 4 – Back, Shoulders, Calves..etc
Â
* How many reps?
Â
Reps can be a touchy subject, but in general to put on muscle mass lift between 6-8 Reps and 10-15 reps for toning. Now this is not written on stone and we’re all individual and our body reacts to different stimuli, so I highly suggest to cycle your rep schemes and experiment untill you find the right rep range your body type.
Â
* Rest in between sets?
Â
If you’re lifting heavy between 6-8 reps, rest between 3-5 minutes
Â
if you’re trying lose weight and lifting less weights and more reps, rest between 60-90 Sec.
Again this is not written on stone so feel free to experiment…

How to Build Your Chest and Arms without Lifting Weights
Â
Lifting weights can be a pain and strenuous if you don’t know exactly what you are doing. Weights offer great benefits, but it can be inconvenient for others, you don’t have to lift weights to get the results of a bodybuilder or a fitness expert. Here are some techniques that will help you shape tone and build great chest and arm structure.
Pull ups are great; doing this exercise requires you to pull up your whole body weight. You will need a bar that attaches to the door, or you can use one at the gym. Place your hands shoulder width apart, let your legs hang loosely but keep them together. Pull yourself at chin level with the bar and lower yourself back down until your arms are straight. Continue to do this until your arms feel weak, take a break and continue again. Doing these exercises two to three times a week will strengthen your arms, chest, hands, fingers and shoulders, it also develops stamina and core strength.
Tips: Make sure to keep it smooth, jerking movements can damage the muscle and nerves.
]]>
Breathe deeply and smoothly during the workout.
Do not over do it, you will damage your muscle tissue and nerves.
Push ups are very effective if you do them the proper way, these exercises are very popular when it comes to chest and arm exercises. Lay on your stomach lift yourself with your arms shoulder length apart, gently come down and raise yourself back up. This workout will tone your shoulders, elbows, back, arms and chest. Inhale as you slowly lower your chest just above ground level, exhale as you push your arms up make sure they are straight when you push up. This routine will also help firm your stomach and abs. If this is your first time try starting off with doing 20-25 reps and work yourself up, repeat this workout about three or four days a week.
The chest expander exercise stretches your chest while toning your shoulders, chest, and breasts and loosens your shoulders. It is very simple to do, but very effective. Stand with your back straight and your feet shoulder length apart, bend your knees slightly and sink your weight into your legs. Then fold your arms, open your arms and begin swinging them to the side and fold them back in front of your chest. You should feel your chest stretching, do at least 15-20 reps.
Tips: Breathe smoothly, evenly and deeply throughout the workout.
Begin slowly and work your way up to doing it faster.
Expand your chest out more with each rep.
These are great and effective workouts, if you are way past these techniques and are looking for advanced moves, Nononsense.com has workouts that will help you achieve muscle toning success, and this is the #1 body toning site on the internet.

The Best Way to Lose Arm Fat, Back Fat and Tone your Buns
Does arm and back fat get you frustrated? Shin Ohtake claims the all over body intensity workout is the solution for those frustrating body parts.
For those of you interested in attaining an effective all over body workout, I would check out ‘Max Workouts’ by Shin Ohtake. Shin Ohtake is a Chiropractor and Trainer by occupation and lives by the proverb “less is more”. Shin Ohtake believes you are wasting your time working out one body part or muscle group at a time and is the champion of the all-over intensity workout. ‘Max Workouts’, a full body work out program, is his version of the intensity workout and he says if you are looking to lose arm fat,back fat or fat from any other niggly part of the body. All you need is some dumbells,a barbell if feasible and the place for performing pull-ups are what you will need for Shin Ohtakes ‘Max Workouts’.
Want to tone your buns? t’s significant to learn something about the connection between the hip flexors and glutes first. The gain of having fit glute muscles is that they protect the lower back from harm. Shin states that all too frequently people have what he calls “butt amnesia” which is the deficiency of use of the glute muscles.
]]>
“Butt amnesia”, he explains,comes simply from too much sitting. A shortening and tightening of the hip flexors occurs when a person sits too long. One of the stronger muscles in the human body is the hip flexors, which extend from the upper thigh to the lower back. The hip flexors being much larger than the lower back muscles give them an advantage over a “tug of war” state that can arise between the hip and lower back muscles. The glutes are brawny enough to overtake the hip flexors but cannot be relied on during a time of need. When your hip flexors are tight and over activated, it inhibits the glutes from being activated…go figure? That’s the conundrum.
Before trying to wake your butt up (no pun intended), you need to turn off your hip flexors. At this degree, the hip flexors have to to be stretched. Just stretching your hip flexors for 60 seconds will elevate the glutes to a waking position.
A helpful exercise to perform is Hip Thrusts. Rest your shoulders and neck on a bench pushing out your abs and chest horizontally with your feet planted firmly on the ground. Now, lower your buttocks and chest so that your glute muscles almost touch the ground – and raise back up again.
As for exercises on how to lose arm fat and how to lose back fat, Shin Ohtake has a solution for you. Contrary to common exercise formats, he has implemented in his intensity workout program all over body exercises as the key to fitness and fat loss from those stubborn parts of the body. All of the full body exercises (along with workouts) are detailed in his book/program, data for which can be found by clicking on the link below.
One example of an all over body exercise is the squat press up. Take a look at Shin Ontake’s program for a full descriptiont and techniques for this and many other exercises.

Killer Triceps workout for building triceps and chest together
Building triceps is a complete must if you are after having the best looking arms in the gym, as without big triceps the biceps are not going to look any good, this is due to the fact that the triceps are over 70% of the upper arms total.
So leaving the triceps to grow just through your pushing exercises such as chest workouts and shoulder workouts isn’t a very good idea.
Â
But I have before and still do give my triceps a fantastic workout through just pushing exercises,
This might sound a little contradicting but if I am pushed for time of want to shock the muscles I do this workout.
Â
Triceps and chest workout.
Â
1. Start with putting your feet up on a bench and your hands on the floor at shoulders width apart.
This is going to be a push up exercise that is going to pre exhaust your chest, as this push up will not hit the triceps to much at first.
]]>
Warm up with two sets of 12-15 reps, then add some weight by using a rucksack with some weights in so you do 3 working sets with a rep rang of 10-12.
Â
2. Next move to a smith machine or a bench with a barbell and take a close grip about shoulders width, this can also be done with a press up with body weight or with a rucksack with weights in.
Do 4 working sets of 10-12 reps.
Included in this exercise will be a super set with dumbbell flyes doing a reps range of 9-10. This is to stretch the chest muscle and hit the outer part of the chest, don’t forget to stretch the triceps as well.
Â
3. I then do the same again either with a smith machine or barbell but in this exercise in a decline position, hitting the bottom part of the chest, once again super setting with flyes.
Â
The two exercises above will hit the hole of the triceps heads as well as the inner and outer chest muscles.
Â
4. I then finish the workout with some parallel bar dips, but I make sure I don’t lean to far forward as this puts allot more stress onto the triceps and not so much on the chest as we have just worked the lower part of the chest, don’t forget to keep your elbows in tight to your sides.
Do 3 sets of 8-20 reps you might find this is a bit hard as your triceps are probably cooked by now so do as many reps as possible.
This exercise will still hit the chest and add to the chest workout.
Â
Key things to remember make sure you stretch your triceps and chest in-between all exercises and squeeze the triceps and chest when at the top of movement.
Â
Have ago at this workout you will find it great for getting a pump and making the triceps and chest grow faster, also its great as I said before for saving time so you get in the gym and out in no time, and see maximum results.

GET A RIPPED CHEST CHEST. The pushup is an excellent exercise for your entire upper body, including your abs. If I could chose to do only one exercise, it would definitely be the pushup. Your chest will get one hell of a workout. The problem with pushups is that many people do it incorrectly. This can not only cause injuries, but prevent your muscles from growing. With an incorrect form, you will just be wasting your time.

Exercises to Get Rid of Manboobs and Build the Chest Muscles Fast
You will find that chest exercises are one of the most frequent exercises performed down the gym and are very important if you are trying to get rid of your man boobs.
The chest muscles basically are made up of two muscles which lie on top of the ribs on the chest wall. The smaller muscle, of the two, that lies close to the chest wall is called the pectoralis minor while the bigger muscle that lies on top of the smaller muscle and which gives the chest its size and appearance is called the pectoralis major.
The chest is one of the main big muscle groups within the body and is frequently thought of as a good sign of masculinity. Good strong pectoral muscles will often provide good overall upper body strength and fitness which is also important in a variety of sports.
Many chest workouts not only focus on the chest wall but also work the triceps muscles at the back of the arms as well as the shoulder muscles. Therefore, doing a chest workout will develop the overall shape and size of the upper body.

Before performing these workouts it is vital to warm up by stretching and doing some light aerobic work. A particularly effective aerobic exercise is rowing on an indoor machine. This will not only stretch those upper body muscles but will also promote the blood flow to the muscles getting them ready for the workouts thereby lowering the risk of injury.
A simple yet effective chest exercise is the chest push-up. This does not require any special equipment or weights and can quite easily be done at home in the bedroom. You should lie flat, face down on the floor with your arms around shoulder width apart. Then push yourself upwards with your arms making sure to you keep your legs and back straight. When you reach the top of the push up, only your hands and toes should, ideally, be in contact with the floor.
At first, for some people, this exercise might be a little difficult and so you can keep your knees in contact with the floor rather than the knees. One of the important aspects of this exercise is to lower yourself down slowly so that you continue to exercise those important muscle groups. As you improve, one way to ,make this exercise more difficult is to move your hands slightly wider than shoulder width.
One of my favorite chest exercises is the bench press, which you will see many people perform down the gym. It is important you have a training partner to help you with this exercise for safety reasons. Lying flat on your back on a bench hold the barbell out at arms length. Then, slowly lower it until it just touches the chest and then proceed, again slowly, to lift it back up to the arms outstretched position.
It is vital to not perform any jerky movements or bounce the weights off the chest wall. Doing around three sets of about eight repetitions once to twice a week will soon develop your chest muscles and you will quickly notice a difference.
If you are aiming to start bodybuilding or just trying to get rid of man boobs then these are two effective exercises to be starting with.

Three Chest workouts
A major part of the body is the chest. Its essential to keep your chest toned because most of your muscles are located there. The chest has two main muscles: pectoralis minor and pectoralis major. Special exercises are designed for the chest. As the chest contains most of the muscles, working out for chest helps to burn a number of calories. Also, carrying out chest exercises works on shoulders and arms; a complete workout of upper body. Before exercising your chest, warm up. Effective chest exercises are listed below.
1. Get the dumbbells and lie down on a bench with them in your hands. The dumbbells should be firmly positioned on top of the chest with the elbows at a ninety degree angle. Position your feet to be level with the floor. When raising the dumbbells up and down, make sure to not lock your elbows. You should about eight to twelve repeats per set. Increase the number of sets and weights as you grow stronger.
2.Dumbbells with Chest flies: This exercise is best recommended with bench flies as it gives you a complete workout for the chest, although you can feel it only on outer chest area. To start, on an exercise bench, lie down. The dumbbells should be held firmly over your chest. With the elbows slightly bent, face your palms inward. Then in a wide arc, lower the weights by the sides. Don’t go beyond shoulder length but lift the weights back up again. Repeat this exercise 8 to 12 times for each set. The stronger you become, the more weights and repeats you should do.
3.Pushups: This is considered as one of the most effective chest exercises. An added plus to pushups, is it works the abs, back and thigh muscles along with the chest. When doing pushups, try not let your abs droop and your also trying to keep your back straight at the same time. On your hands and knees, position your hands directly below the shoulders so as to support your weight. Lower your chest to barely be above the floor after bending your arms from elbow position. Use the floor as leverage and push yourself up. Repeat the exercise eight to twelve times, while raising the amount of sets each time.
Finding the perfect Insanity Workout takes time and effort. These best workout routines is a great place to start if a person is interested in flat abs. The P90X workout routines is also another workout that will help develop flat abs.
Complete Dumbbell Chest Workout
This dumbbell chest workout is designed to work the upper chest, the lower chest, and the inner chest. The reason to use dumbbells over free weight bars and ellipticals is that it allows for a greater range of motion, and to control this motion you use a greater range of muscle groups. This is a more efficient way of building muscle. Also, because you have a dumbbell in each hand, the left and right sides of your body are forced to work equally. This will produce a balanced and proportionate look to the muscles.
For each of the following dumbbell chest exercises, perform 3 sets of 8-12 reps.
Flat Dumbbell Bench Press
Start by lying on a flat bench with the dumbbells tucked into your armpits. Extend the dumbbells straight up and lock out your elbows. Then return to your original position. You want to explode in the upward motion of this dumbbell chest exercise, and coming back down slowly, focusing on your form.

Flat Dumbbell Flies
Start by lying on a flat bench with the dumbbells extended together straight above your chest. Now open your arms as if to give a hug and lower the dumbbells to about the level of your head. Keep your elbows slightly bent to provide support. Once at this level, bring the dumbbells back to their original position by squeezing your inner pectoral muscles. This dumbbell chest exercise will help provide that desired look of separation between the pecs.
Incline Dumbbell Press
Set your incline bench to about a 45 degree angle. Start with a dumbbell resting above each shoulder. Now press the dumbbells straight up and lock out your elbows. To finish the exercise, return the weights to their starting position. This dumbbell chest exercise works the upper chest. To work the lower chest, change your bench to a decline of about a 45 degree angle and perform the same press exercise.
Pushups
*** Some of the following pushup exercises can be done with push bars or on dumbbells for more tension on the pectoral muscles. ***
Standard Pushup
Palms shoulder width apart. Lower your chest to the ground and push yourself back up.
Wide Palm Pushup
Palms about 6-12 inches outside of your shoulders. Lower your chest to the ground and push yourself back up.
Diamond Pushup

Addressing Lagging Arms and Chest
Article by Dane Fletcher
You probably follow a traditional bodybuilding routine. Perhaps you hit chest on day 1, back on day 2, shoulders on day 3, arms on day 4, and legs on day 5. This is a very common, traditional workout which has yielded great results for bodybuilders for decades. You strive for symmetry, balance, and you employ an approach to lifting that takes all factors into account. However, despite your efforts to keep everything in balance, and everything in check, you’re seeing a problem develop. Your arms and chest are just growing slower than every other body part.
Maybe you’re overtraining them. Maybe you’re undertraining them. There can be many reasons. Let’s look at a few solutions for bringing chest and arms up to par with the rest of your body parts.
More frequent trainingHitting arms twice per week has worked for many bodybuilders seeking a boost in their training. Keep the volume and weight lower when using this system, as they can quickly become overtrained. Also, avoid hitting other body parts twice per week when using this technique for arms. You certainly will not grow if you’re training every body part twice per week!
Change your rep rangeWhat rep range do you normally employ for arms? If it’s 6 to 8 repetitions, then it may be time to bump up your reps to 12 to 16 for a bit. If you’ve been training light for a lot of reps, then perhaps you should try training them with lower repetitions for heavier weights. You need to recruit both the slow and fast twitch muscle fibers, and varying your rep schemes is the way to do that. Break out of your rut!
Check your formIf you’re training chest and arms like crazy, and they’re not growing, it may be because you’re not training them correctly. Have a more experienced friend or personal trainer honestly evaluate your form as you train. They’re probably itching to critique your form, although good gym etiquette usually dictates they say nothing, as long as the form isn’t dangerous. If you believe the trainer or friend might be able to find errors, ask him or her! If your form is too sloppy, you may be limiting the amount of stress actually being placed on the chest or arms, and you might not even know it.
Try powerliftingVery often, bodybuilders with stubborn chests will train with a powerlifter for a month or two, and will see new results. The low rep scheme, focus upon explosive lifting, and overall intensity are something that the bodybuilder will very rarely see. Give it a shot, and see if it helps you to break out of your mold!
Give it timePatience is probably the most overlooked virtue when trying to make gains in the arms and chest. These are, after all, the showcase muscles that you will always be asked to show off. If they’re weak, you’re probably going to overtrain them, use too much weight, or short-circuit your efforts in some other way. Instead, give it time, show some patience, and let those babies grow!
