Exercise for Strength

Lifting weights just doesn't appeal to everyone. And that's fine. Take a look at the gymnast. They are basically working out using their own body weight and you can also.

Pushups have always been an excellent strength training exercise. Herschel Walker says he uses pushups and situps to develop his body.

Try adding a little variety to the pushup. Fingertip pushups will help develop the tendons in your wrist and add a unique twist. Or bring your hands in and form a triangle with your forefingers and thumbs. This will put emphasis on the triceps.

Take your arms as wide apart as possible and do a pushup. Feel the shoulders?

Move the hands around and try different pushup techniques and watch your upper body strength increase and your arms and shoulders grow firmer.

Aerobics

Your aerobic exercise should consist of at least 30 continuous minutes of exercise 4 - 5 times a week.

If you walk, walk briskly and I definitely recommend you throw some running periods in there.

During a 30 minute walk, 4 - 6 short 30 second runs will do wonders for you. Start with 1 or 2 during your walks. Even begin with 10 - 15 second runs (not sprints). You will begin to build your endurance and will be able to increase your running sessions.
