This is it for the first 2 months....

I sincerely feel this is required in the first 2 months. The reward for me is i build my fundamental s to proceed to other muscle groups. Reason being my shoulders are most vulnerable and I build up my weakest point for the rest. I have been doing all this CONSISTENTLY and CHEERFULLY daily before meals and I do not need any special diet yet I prefer, home cook food to live real happy.

Getting it Right For Vertical Press

I remember for peak results for my shoulders, I start with arms parallel to the floor.When the dumbbells reach overhead, I never lock your elbows. I concentrate by looking in the mirror at all times. By which I will always monitor my posture well and focus on my actions. As a general rule of thumb, I never hold my breath and keep my back and neck straight.

Exercise 2: Vertical Press


Vertical Presses for My Overall Shoulders

After a month, my next exercise is Vertical Press for my overal shoulders. I start in a standing position with feet shoulders length apart ; I hold dumbbells with arms parallel to the ground and to the sides; my elbows bent and forearms vertical. Here, I breathe out then inhale and press up the dumbbells overhead till hands are vertical and the dumbbells meet. For this movement, I breathe out from start to the top,then inhale as I return to the start position.

I Want To Get it Right For Lateral Raise

I was able to perform with ease 2 sets of 10-12 reps. However, i feel 5 kg on each side too heavy and reduce to half the weightage. After adjusting my weights, i find slight strains only in the last 2 reps of lateral raise. I rested between sets for about 1-2 minutes and feel energized in the end. As for growing my muscles, i have meals 10 minutes after my workout.

Exercise 1:Lateral Raise For the Shoulders


How i look like doing lateral raise
I start from the position standing with both dumbbells extended below my navel. Here, i breathe out and then in. When I begin to breathe in, I raise both dumbbells to my sides, slightly in front of my chest till i just reach the shoulder level. Constantly, i conscientiously remember to keep your elbows bend slightly at all times. I then lower with control to the start position and at the same time breathe out. This is my complete rep with a happy smile .

Good Effects Of Keeping to 1 Exercise

I begin to feel so focus on performing lateral raise that I begin to think as I perform it. I am thinking further how to be SAFE and to train these shoulders with GOOD POSTURE. And so i am aware of how i looked in the mirror and to watch my back; keeping it straight and firm at all times. As a rule of thumb, i am conservative in the amount of weights used so i will never go awry.

Start Keeping Fit....The First Month of Weights

To live happy, I always believe it is necessary to build a healthy body. In looking back, I discover that to keep weights- training long term, the fundamental key is to start small and right. Because it always feel so down when you overwork your muscles, and you start to mull if you should continue to carry weights or even feel you are no good at all, I just take up one exercise till i grow out of the fatigue. The exercise I embark on is the Lateral Raise.
