If you do not own a home gym but want to do an exercise similar to the Butterflies for your chest, then try doing the Dumbbell Flyes and it will give you the same results.  I like doing this exercise with Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells. When starting this exercise,  make sure you lying on your back on a flat bench, then have your partner hand you each dumbbell while your arms are stretched out wide to your sides keeping your elbows slightly bent and your palms facing inward, toward each other.

When you lift the dumbbells up together, imagine your arms wrapping around a large tree, like you were hugging it, then at the very peak of the movement, squeeze your pecs together hard for a 1 count. Then upon returning to the start position, be very sure to lower the dumbbells in a slow and controlled movement. You should repeat this action for as many repetitions as you can do until failure. When doing these exercises or any other free weight exercise, it’s always a good idea to have a spotter for safety and to push you to get the most out of your workout.

Owning a pair of PowerBlock Dumbbells one of my favorite exercises to use them for is the single arm dumbbell row. If this exercise is done properly it will help you build a thick, strong back. Normally the motion is pretty much an up and down motion pulling the dumbbell up towards you with one arm while the other arm is braced on the bench, but with a slight twist you can increase the effectiveness of the exercise by 50%.

The movement is; once you pick up the dumbbell, row it up to your torso but when you lower the weight back to the starting position, simply twist it inwards. Once you twist the dumbbell for a slight turn, twist it back to the original position and pull upward again. Repeat this movement for the entire set and it will definitely aid in the muscle development of your back.

The medical community has prescribed at least half an hour of exercise at least four days a week.  This is for people who have a mostly sedentary lifestyle, the television/computer addict that is the majority of people in the United States.  Once that level is attained, however, it is desirable that you increase the amount of physical work even more so that you can reach your peak optimal level.  That body that you so crave for yourself is only a few steps away, well maybe a few thousand, but you can reach it, one foot in front of the other.  Fitness equipment at home gives you the ability to exercise without spending lots of time preparing to go out to a gym.  It is the best way to burn calories for people on the go.

When I do a cardio workout on my Boflex Treadmill I’m actually doing an aerobic exercise. Cardio has been described as any exercise at an intensity at which oxygen can be sustainably supplied to large muscle groups over time and which places constant demands on the heart and lung system, the cardiorespiratory system.

The latest fitness guidelines say we should exercise at least an hour a day and every other day my treadmill is my choice to fulfill that requirement. Some of the benefits you receive are well worth it such as: burn calories and loose weight, increase lung capacity, make heart stronger, reduces stress and the chance of a heart attack, plus it will help you sleep better.
