Workouts.........Answers to why???





I don't work out to be skinny....I workout to be fit, strong, healthy both physically and mentally. 
I am dedicating this page to reasons why to workout, benefits, and different kinds of workout tools.




Grip above shoulders to work triceps, 
                                                              Wider Grip to work the Chest.  Do some presses!
  Think about working all areas of the body to become a fitter athlete.



Bicep curls to shape the Arms,   Squats to shape the legs and glutes, lunges to shape hamstrings, quads, core stability.  

Why YOU need weight resistant training.
1) Increased functional ability
2) Increased bone density
3)  Increased Fat-Free mass
4)  Enhanced feelings of well being
5)  Improved quality of life
6)  Increased strength of connective tissue
Everyone does not need to grab a barbell and lift a hundred lbs. What everyone does need to do is increase their bodies lean muscle tissue through any means possible.  You can even lift a can of soup for bicep curls while in the kitchen and it will be better than doing nothing.  

Where to start?
2.5-5lb for bicep focus 10-12 reps, 2 sets
10lb resting on shoulders or just holding by chest for squats.  10-20 squats, 2 sets
Hold a 5lb weight and use for sit ups
Just start there or better yet go to a CLASS or get other great tips from sites such as
fitness magazine, shape magazine, fit tv, sugar fit, bodybuilding.com and more...

IF you're not ready for Weights try resistance tubing exercises.
