Top strength & resistance exercises for that fit body

Today, I am going to share top functional exercises that helped me build stamina & resistance. I am sure, if you do these workout twice a week, you can strengthen your core & achieve that stamina & strength you have been striving for.

1) Squats

Squats is the best resistance training exercise & helps build lower body muscles such as legs, thighs & hips. It also uses lot of upper body muscles to protect spine when heavy weights are taken on upper back. It is a great fat burner & help in reducing weight. When squats are done with heavy & progressively increasing weights, they become more desirable workout for strength & building lower body muscles. Squats is an effective workout for those who are planning to go for trek or mountain hike

2) Lunges

Lunges also uses the same lower body muscle. It has the same effect as walking up and down hill/stairs. Another variant of lunges which can be used to build strength is, using dumbell or weighted barbell road. It is a great exercise to burn calories & tone muscles. It can also be referred as squats being performed on one leg, so you should not put too much weight on one leg as compared to equal weights taken on both legs when doing squats.

3) Pull ups/Chin ups

Chin ups/Pull ups is awesome exercise as it involves all upper body muscles- back, shoulder & arms. Since this exercise involves multiple muscles, it is an super awesome exercise to burn calories, build strength & reduce weight. With the passage of time you can do weighted chin-ups to build that supreme strength.

4) Lat pull-down

Lat pulldown is another super exciting exercise for pulling upper body muscles. It is also referred as open chain exercises & is one of great resistance building moves

5) Bent over row

This uses all pulling muscles & is a great exercise. As you pull the bar upto the torso, it moves away from centre of mass of client, thus pulls you forward. It also puts greater demand on core muscle

6) Dumbell Press

This workout works on all push muscles such as chest, shoulders & triceps. However this does not bring much of core muscles into work. As the weight increases all the muscles involved works hard to stimulate the moment & muscles such as cuff muscles of shoulder joints works to stabilize the joints. With more weights muscles becomes more thick & tone.
