Top 4 Exercises for Women

Hey Ladies.....Want to know the 4 best exercises for women? Here they are!

1. Lunges
They hit all of the "target areas" in the legs. (Glutes, Hamstrings, Inner and Outer Thighs)

Tip: Try different variations of Lunges like; reverse lunges, diagonal lunges, jumping lunges, lunges with a pause, walking lunges, lunges on and off a box or platform, etc...

2. Incline Trainer
Using an incline trainer at around 30 percent incline, will target the glutes and hamstrings. An area of concern for a lot of women. It will also burn tons of fat, and have you looking super lean!

Tip: Try doing different movement patterns on the incline trainer like; side steps, walking backwards, lunges, skipping, etc...

3. Push Ups
Push ups are one of the best exercises for working the chest, triceps, and shoulders, all areas that women need to strengthen.

Tip: Try limiting stability when doing push ups by putting one hand on a medicine ball or by picking one foot up off the ground, When you are strong enough of course!

4. Bicycle Crunches
One of the best core exercises that allows for good development of the entire abdominal region, including obliques.

Tip: Remember to fully extend the legs outward and keep your elbows pointed directly to the side.
