• Ab crunches
• Calf raise
• Shoulder press
• Rowing
• Bench press
• Deadlift
• Squat
Build a set with these exercises and perform 2 – 3 times a week and you will be well on your way to outstanding definition.
Cardiovascular
As an extra boost to burning body fat to help gain that ripped look is to take advantage of cardio exercise such as running, swimming and bicycle riding – these exercises if performed a couple of time s week can give you the edge of beating the extra pounds.
