How
to look really good and impress the world?
We are all motivated to exercise by many
reasons, and at the top of the list is - to look good. Looking good can be different
things to different people. For ladies, it is generally about getting rid of flabby arms,
hip, thighs and tummy. For guys, the typical goals is to achieve a good v-shape upper
body, defined chest and toned abdominals. Both genders desire overall slimmer built.
In order to attain such goals,
- One need to lose fat all over the body to achieve a lean
body. There is no way to make one part of the body smaller than the rest (this must
have been said a million times but still people don't get it). To do that, we must engage
in strenuous physical activities which will involve as many large muscle groups (e.g.
cardio exercises and natural kinetic exercises) as possible to maximise calorie
expenditure. On top of this, follow diet strategies (e.g. eat-on-demand) to create
calorie deficit and increase metabolism. These are best done on daily basis to have great
results.
- To make a particular bodypart stand out and reshape the
body's overall appearance, it can be done through selected resistance training
exercises and proper reps scheme to achieve muscular growth (hypertrophy). The
best reps scheme for most exercises is between 6-12 reps with a moderately heavy
weights. Some suggested exercises for selected muscle groups are:
- To have wider shoulders, concentrate on a lot of overhead
pushing exercises like military and dumbbell shoulder presses
- To have a bigger chest, concentrate on bench presses,
dumbbell chest presses and dipping exercises
- To have a V-shape muscular back, work on chin ups, various
rowing exercises and pulldowns.
- To have more muscular thighs, work hard on squats and lunges
- To have bigger or toned arms, work hard on the big
muscle groups mentioned above and do 1-2 arms specific exercises like barbell curls and
pushdowns.
- To have abs muscles, do crunches, leg raises etc.
Assuming you follow our advises and programs religiously and have attained a
great body, is that enough to make heads turn? Not quite yet.
Once you have attained a good physique, you may want to flaunt your new found
body (if vanity is not your cup of tea here, then we say sorry here). Unless you are at
the beach, most of the time you will be covered up with casual or working clothes. Do you
know if you that wearing proper outfit and proper color matching are just as
important as working out and eating right? While you may have a great body, a wrong choice
of outfit can really ruin your physical appearance. What is the whole point if you
cannot effectively show your best and hide your weakness? Most of us are poor at best when
it comes to clothes selection. How many times can you find yourself giggling or
criticising others for this kind of mistakes? I hope you are not a victim yourself!
