Ideas For Advanced Workout Routines Did you know that it is imperative to complete full body intensity workout routines when targeting specific body parts? It is believed that it’s a waste of time to exercise one body part or muscle group in a pointed manner at one time, and is non-effective for losing weight. It’s a good idea to learn about the muscles in the human body before you implement your workout routines. Understanding the jobs of some of the muscles, the locations of these muscles and how they relate to other muscles is important to get a complete full workout. The way you can get a more complete workout is to focus on implementing more of the muscles in your body on each exercise of your workout routines. For example; A traditional “push up” will work the Pectoralis Major, Triceps Brachii, Deltoids, nd the Biceps Brachii. You can modify the “push up” and implement your Abdominal muscles (Rectus Abominis), the Obliques (these run down the sides of your waist) and Quadriceps. This can be accomplished by merely tightening your trunk area. You will need to focus on contracting the muscles throughout your body while doing the “push up” but with practice this will become second nature in your workout routine . For advanced workout routines you can add additional modifications-try this. Once in the traditional “push up” position make sure your elbows are bent at 90 degrees and you keep them tight in to your rib area. Now bend your right knee and bring it out to your right side at hip level and maintain this position throughout the “push up”. Your right knee should end up touching or getting very close to your right elbow if you are performing these correctly.

Any workout routine can be modified to create an all over body workout. This all over body workout will be the answer to your frustrating body parts that you haven’t been able to trim down and tone up. www.women-workout-routines.com

Here is another example for your workout routine: A traditional “sit up” exercise will work your Abdominal muscles (Rectus Abominis) only. This can be modified in many ways to include numerous other muscle groups.

Crunches-lie flat on your back with your feet flat on the ground as you normally would for a traditional “sit up”. Now roll your shoulders off of the floor while keeping your lower back on the floor (you may need to push your lower back into the floor to keep it from lifting up when you raise your shoulders). Roll your shoulders off of the floor about 4 inches and hold that position for five seconds and lower back down.

For advanced workout routines you can modify the “crunch” even more. Lie on the floor as you did in the previous instruction. Now lift up both of your legs and keep your knees at a 90 degree angle. Now proceed to cross your arms over your chest and roll your shoulders up off of the floor approximately 4 inches while focusing on keeping your lower back as flat as possible. Hold this position for 5 seconds and lower back down.

These exercises can be modified even further for a more in depth workout routine by tweaking just a few things.
