Add Dumbbell Squats to Your Exercise Routine
Add Dumbbell Squats to Your Exercise RoutineBy Bruce A. Tucker
I would have to say that working out my legs in my exercise routine is probably my least favorite thing to do. Even though it is my least favorite I also understand that it is very important as well. What I did was add an exercise or workout that I find enjoyable to do and really gives me that overall great leg workout.
Dumbbell Squats is a variation of the chic / stylish / trendy / hip / cool squat exercise. The squat exercise is traditionally performed by placing a bar with weights on it behind your head and then lowering and raising yourself to workout your legs.
In the dumbbells version of this exercise, while standing, you will hold two dumbbells at your sides. Spread your legs about shoulder width apart and slowly lower yourself to the floor by bending at your knees, or in other words squat.
Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Keep in mind as you go through the movement to do so slowly, breathing in as you lower yourself and breathing out as you raise yourself up. I like to count to 3 on the way down and to 3 on the way up. Also keep your back straight throughout the movement and perpendicular with the floor at all times.
This exercise will take you a few sessions to perfect it, however once you do, it has tremendous benefits. Also performing dumbbell squatsas opposed to the traditional squats with a bar on the back of your neck, gives you the added and increased benefit of not needing a spotter as well as less stress on the back and neck.
If you are looking to add a new exercise to your leg routine I strongly recommend the dumbbell squat. It will have your leg muscles feeling great in no time.
Just remember as with all nutrition (diet) and exercise programs you should seek out the advice of a trained professional or expert as well as obtain a thorough physical from your doctor or primary care physician prior to starting.

,Exercising With Weights Increases Weight Loss
Exercising With Weights Increases Weight LossBy Bruce A. Tucker
Weight loss is a goal that everyone sets however very few actually reach. The reason why so many people fail when it comes to weight loss is because of their plan or in this case a lack thereof.
Exercise is a key contributor to losing weight and when combined with a healthy nutrition (diet) plan will assist and help accelerate your weight loss that much more. If you plan correctly, and when I say plan, map out your exercise routine, you will greatly increase your chances of losing weight.
When putting together your exercise and fitness plan first you must take into account the amount of time you have available to get through your entire workout. For example, if all you have is 45 minutes on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays then it will be those days and in that amount of time you will exercise.
Now that you know how much time you have to work with and the days you will be working out, then develop the actual exercise routine. I recommend that you hit every muscle part in a single session performing one exercise for each muscle group. Your muscle groups are chest, triceps, back, biceps, legs, shoulders and abs. So now that you know the groups then you already know that you will be performing only 7 exercises. That's it! You can fit 7 exercises within your 45 minutes correct? Of course you can.
You should start with only 1 set of about 8 to 12 reps for each muscle group with the exercises that you have chosen. For example I like to do dumbbell bicep curls for my biceps. I curl 35 pounds in each arm and do 1 set of 12 reps. I will slowly add onanother set and lower the reps as my strength increases. In other words I will do 2 sets of 8 reps to help increase my strength in this exercise. I will follow this plan for all of my exercises in my routine slowly making increments to my reps, sets or weight as I become more strengthened.
Once you have all of your exercises picked out, write it down in a journal so you can track your progress. Studies have shown that those individuals who write down their routines and what they have completed have a greater odds at success then those who do not. Write it down and follow what you are doing so you can monitor your progress.
Exercising is a superb way to lose weight and putting the right plan in motion will make it easier. Just remember to get a complete physical from your family physician prior to starting any type of exercise program.

,Continue Your Exercise Routine, Even on Vacation
Continue Your Exercise Routine, Even on VacationBy Bruce A. Tucker
My wife and I love (not the same as infatuation) to travel and when you travel it breaks up any daily routine that you might have especially and particulary your workout and nutrition (diet) program. Chances are no matter where you go you will not have to stop that routine, only refine a bit. The greatest part is you can still enjoy your vacation.
