Best Home Exercises has some of the weight training tips you will find anywhere. I've been weight training for many years, I used to build, but now I'm on a maintenance plan. Through the years I've acquired a good bit of knowledge that I'm going to share with all of you.
First off, I'm just an average everyday person who loves weight training and exercise in general. I also make sure to do cardio on a regular basis as the heart is a muscle too and it needs to get pumped just as much as legs, back, chest and arms. All the muscles in the body need exercise or they will deteriorate at a faster rate than normal.
Another thing for all of you who don't build, but are interested in toning or maybe even weight loss. These principles I'm about to give can work to tone, lose or gain all you do is change them up to suit your needs. Just keep reading and you will understand how they will apply to your particular goal.
If you want to build muscle there is more involved than just lifting weights. The diet part plays a huge role in getting results. The same thing goes for toning and weight loss. The difference is if you want to gain muscle you need a high protein low fat diet, but still need a lot of calories so that you will gain. If you're toning you want an overall healthy diet, but aren't eating to gain but to maintain. Then if you're losing you need to eat a low fat, low calorie diet, it's just a matter of adjusting it to your specific need.
You can weight train to gain, tone or lose, I've done all three so I know how to use weights for whatever results I want. Here's 10 good weight training tips:
1.Stretch and warm up first! Stretch and cool down afterwards.
Stretching can increase strength. Hold each stretch for 20 seconds.
2.To tone the muscle, do high (15) repetitions.
3.To increase the size of the muscle, do moderate (10) repetitions.
4.To strengthen the muscle, do low (5) repetitions.
5.Between sets rest for about one minute, then back to it!
6. Use proper technique and strict form when lifting weights.
7.To build muscle, you need a consistent routine.
8.Take twice the time to lower the weight that it took you to raise it.
9. Give muscles 24-48 hours of rest between workouts.
10. Focus, Focus, Focus
Now, let's talk about toning. For toning you need to use moderately heavy weights in all your sets and do high repetitions. If you can't push or lift the weight 15 reps then the weight is too heavy for toning. Therefore, you decrease the weight to a weight you can do at least 15 times. You do the same exercises to gain, tone or lose the only difference is the amount of reps and weight. You still need strict form, stretching and all the other tips mentioned above.
For weight loss you would use a moderately heavy weight and also go for the high reps, at least 15- 20. Except you want to do them fast as possible without losing good form, the goal here is to raise the heart rate and metabolism. A higher metabolism keeps fat burning even when you're resting. If you can't do the reps and keep good form you need to decrease the weight. Good/strict form means slow controlled movement, no jerking or forcing the weight.
Best Home Exercises- Fitness Goals
It's the last day of 2008 and Best Home Exercises wishes everyone a Happy New Year. Hopefully you have had good success with your home fitness goals. If not there's no time like the present to start over and look at how you can make the new year a better one.
To start with you need to approach it with a positive attitude. If you are negative and say things like,"I'll never be able to lose weight or I'll never be able to build muscle" then you set yourself up for failure. Instead you need to set and accomplish at least one doable goal a week.
It doesn't have to be a big goal, in fact, you fare better if you do small doable goals and build upon those goals. For example, let's say your goal is to eat healthy snacks 5 days a week instead of junk food, this is a doable goal. However, if you say I won't ever eat junk food as long as I live, this may not be a doable goal.
Or say I'm going to do the Best Home Exercises, the top 4 every day. This goal is a bit much as well. Whereas if you commit to doing them 3-4 days a week it's doable and makes sense.
That said, the next thing you need to do is write the goals down. First the small term ones then the long term ones. Statistics say that writing goals down and keeping them where you can see them is a big motivator.
It's also good to have someone you're accountable to. Like maybe a friend or family member that you can share goals with who will be supportive. It's even better if they agree to work out with you or in some way have a part in it. As a result, you will have extra support and motivation.
In addition, make your health and fitness goals specific. You have a better chance of success when you're focused on one thing. Too many irons in the fire doesn't pay off in the long run. Set a doable goal and do it and once you've master it set another one and do it; so forth and so on.
Finally, Best Home Exercises wishes you a Happy New Year. Thanks so much for visiting see you in 2009.

Best Home Exercises- Snowed In?
Best Home Exercises knows that winter is here and there will be times you will be snowed in and can't get to the gym. So if you're not used to working out at home then you will need to improvise.
There are many types of exercises you can do and it's always good to have a back up plan. For example, it would be wise to have a bench or two like a flat and an incline so you can weight train. Along with dumb bells or by using power block, you can check out Power Block on Amazon.
I have both so that I can get as closed to a full body workout as I can by working all major muscle groups. And if you don't know what those are, here you go: legs, back, arms, shoulders and abs. I also keep several body building books, especially Arnold's Encyclopedia of Body Building it's the best weight training resource you can have as it is extremely detailed. You can find it on Amazon.
On the other hand if you usually do a step workout you might want to have those types of DVD's handy so that you can do what your body is used to. If not you'll really have to improvise by finding some high energy music and make up a routine of your own.
Then if you don't know what to do and haven't worked out for a while you can do Best Home Exercises the top 4 which I posted a few weeks ago, you can check it out in detail by clicking on the November posts. It's done using super set techniques so it's an intense workout.
There you go, three ideas you can use for when you get snowed in, want a change of pace, don't want to go out, don't want to go to the gym or simply want to work out at home. No matter what the reason it's always good to be prepared just in case.

Best Home Exercises for Biceps
The Best Home Exercises for biceps is a topic I'm sure will be popular mostly due to the bicep muscle being one that can be difficult to build. It is one of the favorite exercises of weight trainers in the gym along with lat and bench press exercises.
To begin you will need some type of weight to curl whether it be dumb bells, a barbell or gallon jugs filled with water. Of course, power blocks are ideal for home use due to ease of weight change. If you're not familiar with what power blocks are go to Amazon to check them out. Once you get your weights together then you either can use a flat weight bench, preacher curl bench, incline, chair, stool or you can do standing curls.
Naturally, you need to do some form of a warm up to prevent injury. It would be good to warm up biceps with very light weight combined with a few minutes of cardio to get circulation pumping.
You will get better results if you do several types of sets you can do this by changing the degree of angle. Additionally, if your goal is to build muscle then you want to use the heaviest weight you can and still do at least 7 reps. On the other hand, if your goal is definition then use less weight and at least 12 reps.
To elongate the bicep muscle you do curls on an incline and execute with full range of motion, if you don't have an incline bench then do them lying down and lift your upper body slightly for leverage.
Straight up curls are much easier than incline curls so you will be able to increase weight considerably, however, if you're standing you may want to do them against a wall for back support and so you can't force the weight up by jerking it. Jerking can cause injuries, therefore,you want slow controlled movement with proper form.
To work on the peak of the bicep you need to have a dumb bell or gallon jug of water since this requires one arm at a time so a barbell can't work. To begin place elbow on knee or inner thigh then lower weight with full range of motion, focus on the contraction at top of movement holding it for 5-10 seconds; you want to go for the burn.
If you're shooting for intensity use the super set technique with all three types of bicep curls. If you're not familiar with super setting it simply means, no rest between sets. It's best to do them in order of importance first; meaning, if the bicep peak is your main focus then do it first before you max out. Super sets are great for getting cuts, saving time and increasing metabolism.
I doesn't matter whether you're at home or in the gym these Best Home Exercises for biceps will work, especially if you super set them. Lastly, for best results rest bicep muscles 24 -48 hours before you work them again.

Best Home Exercises- Inversion Table Benefits
There are several inversion table benefits that best home exercises wants you to be aware of. Most people affiliate inversion tables with back pain so I thought it might be a good idea if I wrote this right after the Prevent Back Pain article. Many believe that they help relieve back pain and possibly cure it, however, you're about to find out what they really do.
Now, for all you people who don't know what an inversion table is, it's a table that you hang almost upside down or at an angle to release pressure and stress on your spinal cord. Not to worry, you're strapped in with gravity boots at the bottom, or should I say top, so that you don't fall on your head.
Does this sound like a ride or a big toy to you? It does me, but that's Ok, it can be fun and beneficial at the same time. Speaking of beneficial let's look at some of the great benefits of the inversion table.
* Reduces headaches
* Relieves stress
* Relieves back pain
* Improves circulation
* Improves posture
* Body relaxation
* Increases flexibility
* Increases Oxygen to the brain
You might be asking yourself,"How does it do all that?" The simple answer to that is: by reversing the negative effects of gravity. Every day of our lives we are being pulled down, what a relief it must be for our body to finally get a break. Not to mention, this is an all natural no drugs involved total body rejuvenation done in a matter of minutes with no effort on your part.
The only downside I can think of is where to put it. Therefore, if you live in an apartment or lack space you might want to consider a portable/folding one. However, if you are fortunate enough to have a spacious home you can buy one that's set up and ready to go.
As you can see the inversion table is beneficial in many ways and would be something to look forward to at the end of a hard day. With that said check it out on Amazon, give it some thought and if you want one, Best Home Exercises says, go for it!

Best Home Exercises- Prevent Back Pain
Best Home Exercises wants to help you by giving you several back exercises that will help prevent and ease back pain. When most people have back pain it's usually in their lower back and at times can be so painful that they can hardly walk. You would think it would take a traumatizing event for a back to hurt this bad. However, there are people who sneezed, bent over the wrong way or did something really simple who end up in this kind of pain.
First of all, if the pain is significant you should see a doctor so that you can have tests run to diagnose the injury. However, a lot of people who have back pain don't run to the doctor at the first sign of a problem. Nevertheless, whether it's in the form of an ache, soreness or a sharp pain you will still need to do something to start the healing process.
That's the purpose of these back stretches that I want to share with you. It's best to do them on an exercise mat so that you're on a solid surface with back support, a bed sinks so the bed isn't sufficient. You can do these stretches before any workout to prevent injury. It's also good to do them in the morning before you start your day and in the evening before bed. It wouldn't hurt to do them mid-day as well.
We'll start with lying down stretches:
1. While laying flat bring one knee at a time to the chest(or as high as you can), clasp hands together behind the knees and hold for 15-20 seconds.
2. Keep shoulders down while lying flat bend torso slowly from left to right, only lower body moves, upper body should not be moving. Do 20 reps each side.
3. Lay on your side, cross knee over till you touch surface hold for 15 to 20 seconds keeping body straight. Repeat on other side, alternate, do 5 sets each side
Sitting stretches:
1. Bend forward from waist put head between knees and hold for 15-20 seconds.
2. Sitting w/back supported raise arms over head, clasp hands together hold 15-20 seconds. Do 5 sets.
3. Sitting w/back supported hold arms in front of you, clasp hands, stretch arms forward and tuck chin, hold for 15-20 seconds. Do 5 sets.
While doing stretches you need to relax, breathing should be slow and controlled.
As you can see these exercises are simple and you can incorporate them into your daily routine quite easily. Designed for prevention, but can be used to ease pain as well. It also helps to apply an ice pack for the first day or two(10-15 minutes max do not let ice touch skin) then switch to heat after the third to fourth day, not hot, just warm moist heat if possible it penetrates better. Your goal, is to relax the muscles and regain range of motion. If it hurts don't do it!
The most common injury is back strain and it can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks for pain to be completely gone or as fast as 2-4 days depending on the seriousness of the injury. Additionally, you can relax tense muscles by taking something for pain as this will speed up the healing process.
Finally, it would be wise to include these best home exercises into your daily routine because preparation can prevent injury.

Best Home Exercises for Tummy
The best home exercises for tummy are the ones you can do in any room of the house. My favorite room to do tummy exercises is the bedroom while laying in bed watching TV. It's so easy I don't know why everyone doesn't do it. Why not watch TV, talk to the family and workout too, you just have to not care what anybody thinks or says and just do it.
There are a couple of tummy exercises I do on the bed and a couple I do beside the bed. To begin lay flat on your back and bring the left or right leg up to the chest or as high as you can get it then alternate legs right left, right, left, start with 5 minutes. These are modified bicycle ab exercises designed for the busy person(or lazy)who is trying to fit abs in whenever they can. Soon as you finish that set lay down beside the bed and place your legs up on the bed and do crunches for 5 minutes. To break it down you started with lower abs and then upper. I do them in super set fashion which simply means no rest in between.
Now, lay down on the bed again, raise arms straight over your head and tighten your tummy and hold for 10 seconds repeat this for 5 minutes. Note, I said hold tummy not hold breath, you must breathe and to breathe properly during exercise you exhale on exertion. This means at the hardest point in the exercise you exhale. Next sit on the side of the bed and bring knees up to chest or to highest point that you can, alternate legs for 5 minutes, once again you work upper abs first then lower. Naturally, they will be more effective if you use the super set method; no rest.
Altogether, it should have taken you 20 minutes to do best home exercises for the tummy. I recommend doing them at least 4 times a week and at least a couple of hours before or after meals, otherwise it could feel uncomfortable and possibly painful. You don't want pain this is not a no pain no gain routine. And it is a routine once you get used to it you will wonder why you haven't done it all along. It's so easy and you can do it in the comfort of your own bedroom or any room for that matter. You can use the couch in the living room, chairs in the kitchen, the bathtub in the bathroom, you get the idea.
There you go no excuses for not doing tummy exercises. I'm sure you'll think of some other ways to add on to these best home exercises, be creative, experiment and if want more help you can access it here.

Best Home Exercises -TheTop 4
If you're pressed for time there are several exercises you can do at home that qualify as best home exercises, and they work the whole body by the time you're finished. I super set them which basically means I do the exercise one right after the other with no rest in between. If you super set several exercises you will get a good workout I promise you that.
You should begin of course with a few warm up stretches/exercises to get circulation going and to avoid injury. I usually ride a stationary bike for 5 minutes and do several upper and lower body stretches. No warm up=injury. Above all you do not want injuries they can set you back for weeks or even months.
After the warm up I start with legs, they are the largest muscles in the body; consequently, they're the hardest to work. I want to get the hardest exercise out of the way first, that's me, you can what suits you best. For legs I begin with lunges, the reason for this is they work the entire leg and if your lunge is wide you will also work your gluts(butt). To make them more strenuous you can add weight.
Next I do push ups, if you can't do full push ups do them from the knees. The push up is a great exercise and works more muscles than you think. It works the chest, shoulders, triceps, your abs if you hold them in tight, your forearms and legs to a lesser degree. Additionally, you can angle or position your hands wider or closer to achieve different results.
Don't forget we're doing super sets no rest, I like to alternate lower/upper body so that while one is working the other is resting. So right after the push ups I do squats and like the lunge you can make this exercise work your gluts simply by going deeper and you can make it more strenuous by using additional weight.
Now, it's back to the upper body and time for back exercises. This has to be set up ahead of time so that you won't be able to rest. You need a bar that can hold your weight,lay it across the backs of two chairs for a modified chin up. Lay on your back, grab the bar keeping your body straight and pull yourself up till your chest touches the bar. This will also work your biceps and shoulders.
These 4 exercises are the "best home exercises" I can think of that will give you a total body workout and if you super set them I guarantee your heart will be pumping hard; consequently, you'll get some cardio in too. Simple, yet effective, time efficient and no travel necessary.
It seems then we're done except for a few cool down stretches to help prevent muscle soreness. Therefore, no excuse will do so go for it!

Best Home Exercises and Vitamins
Today at Best Home Exercises we're going to look into the role of vitamins and how important they are to our health. Exercise and vitamins work together to help us stay healthy.
Vitamins are substances that are found in many of the foods we eat. Your body needs vitamins to work properly, which makes them really important. Your body uses vitamins to do many things, like help you grow and develop. The body also needs vitamins to help blood clot when you get a cut. Some vitamins help give us energy. Vitamins are even involved in making sure you can see color, the world would look black and white without them. And if you've ever wondered what helps make your teeth healthy and strong, then you'll be sure to smile when you find out it's, guess what, vitamins!
Maybe now you can see why vitamins, sometimes called supplements,are necessary. These days people are very busy and eat at fast food restaurants where the food is mostly depleted of nutritional value. This can create problems if it continues over long periods of time, especially if you don't exercise. There are vitamins designed to help the whole family men, women, children and even the family pet.
I'm going to give you a little information on which vitamins do what, so that you can make an informed decision as to which ones you think you and your family need.
Vitamin A- A helps regulate the immune system, which helps prevent and combats infections by producing white blood cells that destroy harmful bacteria. Vitamin A also plays a significant role in vision, and bone growth.
Vitamin B- There are multiple B vitamins they are known as the 'energy' vitamins. They are B1,B2,B3,B5,B6,B9 and B12. B vitamins are important for the proper formation of every cell in your body.Vitamins B6 and B12 are extremely helpful in protecting the heart and nerves.
Vitamin C- The primary function of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is the production of collagen, which forms the basis for connective tissue in bones, teeth, and cartilage. It also plays an important role in wound healing, immunity, and the nervous system, and acts as a water-soluble antioxidant.
Vitamin D- The main function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. Bones may become brittle and weak without vitamin D.
Vitamin E- Vitamin E protects vitamin A and essential fatty acids from oxidation in the body cells and prevents breakdown of body tissues. It also protects unsaturated fats in the body from oxidation by peroxides and other free radicals. Vitamin E is also great for the skin.
Vitamin K- The K vitamins are needed for normal metabolism. Vitamin K also is necessary for the proper clotting of blood and helps promote bone health.
Multivitamin- The American Medical Association recommends we all take one of these due to our diets not providing the nutrients we need daily. The benefits are far too numerous to mention.
Vitamins for Pets - Just like us our pets need vitamins and minerals. Animals lacking proper amounts of copper, iron, selenium, and others, have been found to be much more likely to develop diseases and have shorter lifespans.
Natural and Synthetic Vitamins - There is some controversy surrounding these two types of vitamins. Synthetic are made with chemicals and of course the natural come from natural sources. Many say the synthetic vitamins are ineffective. And others swear they do the same as natural ones. I would say try them out or do further research yourself before making a decision.
There are fat soluble vitamins and water soluble vitamins. The fat soluble family group is A,D,E and K. They are diffused in fatty tissue and are not eliminated as quickly as the water soluble vitamins which are eliminated everyday, those being vitamin C and the B-complex (B1,B2,B6,B12).
Finally,if you exercise and take vitamins on a consistent basis you will reap the benefits of better health. And if you need to lose a few pounds check out this site www.easytipsforweightloss.geteasytips.com
