The Exercises That Men Should Do Every Day

Among the objectives that lead someone to practice sports, is to have a better appearance, but also helps us to reach healthy at advanced ages

Maybe you do not feel like a stranger in the gym because you go several times a week, but are you taking advantage of the time? That is another story. There are more people exercising than at any other time in history, thanks to a boom in training centers and social networks.

Even so, we are more obese, more sedentary, we have more pain and illness than at any other point in the history of humanity. Fulfilling a normal routine can become boring, and sometimes, become useless. Here are various procedures of exercises that every man should consider adding to his daily workouts.

Squats

They are versatile, and you can do them without equipment. The most important thing is to do them correctly. Stand erect with your feet at a distance similar to the width of your hips and keep your shoulders relaxed. Look forward to keeping your neck aligned with your spine and keep your arms straight in front of you or on your hips.

The iron is a very complete exercise: it strengthens the abdominal, buttocks, legs, back, and chest at the same time.

Slowly squat as if you were about to take a seat keeping your heels still on the floor and your torso erect. Your goal is to do eight to twelve repetitions. This exercise is very complete since you stimulate the cardiovascular system, which also helps to burn more fat.

Lunges

Their purpose is to develop agility and physical strength, being able to have complete control of the body when moving. The lunges are made without additional weight, but there are variations where dumbbells or a bar are used; not recommended for beginners. Place your back and legs straight with your arms extended at your sides.

It is advanced with one foot facing the front, keeping the trunk always straight. Then, the back knee touches the ground slightly. The gluteal force is used to bring the back leg forward. It is important not to stop at each step, but to make a continuous walk. Do you want a challenge? Experts suggest that you add a biceps curl exercise with weights or walk forward when you make the move to keep things more interesting. Repeat it eight to twelve times in each series.

Cardio

Sweating for 20 to 40 minutes on the treadmill or elliptical could be the only type of cardio you are familiar with, but it will not necessarily have an impact on your metabolic rate or how quickly your body burns calories. Consider adding an anaerobic exercise, such as running or jumping, when you have finished with an aerobic activity, which will elevate your exercise to a more intense level and increase your metabolism in the process.

Yoga

There are many types of yoga, some more physical, others more philosophical and others more restorative. Choosing one or the other depends on many things, but especially on what you are looking for at that particular moment in your life. The ideal is to practice this sport half meditative discipline between two and four times a week, depending on the availability you have. Traditionally, it was practised fasting in the morning and there are still people who do it, but in the end, it is best to adapt it to the situation of each one.

Be careful when doing squats. The key for them to work is to perform them correctly.

Take a deep breath: If you do not, you can really start to exacerbate other problems. To improve it and also your flexibility, consider practising yoga. During intense workouts, your breathing slows down, instead of accelerating as you would during a vigorous cardio routine. In addition to training your body to do it well, you will also stretch your muscles tenser and those you do not use. That’s important because the most inflexible can lead to back problems, tightness and muscle tears.

Irons

The iron is a very complete exercise, because by keeping our whole body in tension, in an isometric contraction, many muscles are strengthened at the same time: the abdominals, of course, but also the glutes, the legs, the back and the chest.

It is clear that either you love or hate it, but this exercise will strengthen your core. They are great for spinal stability and back pain. Approach the ground as if you were doing a flex, with your elbows bent at 90 degrees and both forearms resting on the ground. Keep your body in a straight line from the top of the head to the tip of the heels. Cup your wrists if they hurt because of the pressure. Start doing everything you can, then try to overcome it every day.
