Body Parts You Never Exercise
November 4, 2008
When it comes to exercises, certain muscles are constantly part of it. These are muscles around the chest, the arms and the leg. But there are certain muscles that hardly get exercise. For a super health body all parts of the body must be targeted. Here are some unusual muscles that need your attention.
The Neck
Most of us spend a great part of our day sitting in an office with the head remaining in the same position for a long time. This stresses the neck muscles and joints. You must look away from your PC from time to time for some exercises. You can push your head with your hand on one side and then the other. The pressure you exert on your head will make the neck muscles workout.
Back
Your back is a great support for your body. When your back is weak, it affects the amount of weight you can carry in other exercises. You will then be using improper form. This will lead to serious injuries. You can exercise your back in the following ways. Lie on your tummy while stretching your arms in front of you. Curl your arms and torso off the floor as high as possible using your back muscles. Hold this position for a few seconds and get back to start. Repeat about 8 to 10 times.
Forearms
You need strong forearms to be able to lift things during your bicep curls and chest presses. The fatigue in these exercises is reduced when your forearms are strong. Strong forearms will prevent you from getting carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow.
Exercise your forearms with this exercise. Placing your forearms on a bench in a parallel position to the floor, and holding a dumbbell in each hand, flex your wrists so that the weights are moved upward up and down. Do about 8 to 12 reps and turn your palms to the reverse side and repeat.
Calves
These are often left out of training schedules but they could be easily included. You can exercise your calves. Holding a heavy dumbbell in each hand, stand on a step or elevated surface. Your heels must be extended past the edge. Contract your calf muscles slowly and push yourself up as high on your toes as possible. Lower and repeat for about 20 to 30 times.
