[E256]English Exercises For Beginners
by Caleb Lee, Cal
Preacher Bench Curls:

This exercise is not only great for your biceps but works those forearms at the same time. You will need a preacher bench for this one. If you don't have it, remember this the next time you are at the gym.

Sit on a preacher bench, with your upper arms resting on the pad, palms facing upwards. Have someone hand you a barbell. Lower the barbell until your arms are nearly straight ? you should be feeling a good stretch in your bicep now.

Make sure to move only your forearms. Using the the bicep, curl the barbell up to shoulder height. Slowly lower to beginning position then repeat.

Dumbbell Concentration Curls:

This can be tough for a beginner. It isolates the bicep giving you the maximum workout (and burn!). You will use a lighter weight for this because of the isolation, but you will get the same results. Sit on the end of the bench with legs spread. Reach down between your legs and pick up the barbell. Bracing your elbow on one knee, place the opposite hand on your leg for balance. Using your bicep only, and moving just your forearm, slowly curl the dumbbell to shoulder height. Keep it there for a moment, then slowly lower to starting position, then repeat. Do this for both arms, alternating left and right.

Well, I hope that these exercises have been helpful to all of my readers, novices and old pros alike who are interested in building better biceps (a good slogan for a gym, if you ask me). Until next time, I'll see you in the gym!

Who would not like to learn yoga for free? Just like everyone, you too would be interested in doing this set of free yoga exercises that are meant just for you! These free yoga exercises will instruct you on how to practice yoga; you just need to follow the instructions carefully and with confidence.

Yoga is a series of different types of exercises which should be practiced regularly to improve an individual's health. Yoga increases the vital flow of energy and gives a peace of mind. The free exercises given below are nothing but different poses which need to be practiced correctly.

Yoga is also a way of living life. It includes performing daily routine activities at a regular time everyday. Consider the habit of getting up in the morning. In yoga, the daily routine starts with having the a fixed procedure of practice everyday in three points; first, Japa meaning chanting some mantra over and over to maintain the same consciousness; second, study by reading some yoga scripts; and third, meditation which should be performed at a fixed time in a fixed place everyday.

The initial pose of these free yoga exercises should be the Corpse pose, and be repeated between other asana (yoga poses) and as a final relaxation. This pose looks easy and it’s really good too. But it should be used for more than relaxing. You should use this pose for meditation while allowing your mind to gain strength and relax.

Start these yoga exercises with the warm up exercises to relax and prepare your muscles for the next exercises. After warm up you can perform the shoulder lifts the natural following exercise and the eye exercise, which can improve your eyesight and prevent tiredness. For the next exercises you can practice sun salutation which will stretch all your body muscles, this to prepare for the much more difficult exercises. Try also leg raise, which will tone your leg muscles, giving you more endurance and improved flexibility; head stand pose is also good for resting some of your organs such as heart.

Once you prepare your mind and body for more difficult yoga exercise, get going in the following manner.

Start with the bridge and plough poses; this will increase your back's flexibility. Initially, you may find it difficult to attain the final position. But with practice you will be able to reach this "asana". At first you will not be able to do it perfectly, but remember it’s important to try to reach the perfect position and train your body to eventually reach the perfectly balanced position.

After this pose, try the forward bend pose to stimulate the nervous system. Then you can attempt the fish pose, it tones the chest muscles and lungs.

Next pose is called cobra pose. Women who suffer from menstrual problems can try the cobra pose, it stimulates the pelvic and lower abdomen area, improving the circulation and massaging the internal organs.

If you want to strengthen the lower back, then you should try the locust pose. Locust pose is also known to help prevent constipation.

The bow is another pose that will help your back area remain strong and flexible at the same time and abdominal fat my also be reduced if proper diet is applied. Furthering this yoga exercise you can try the half spinal twist pose for your spines.

Breathing is a very important aspect in practicing yoga. You can learn proper way of breathing and improve on it by practicing the crow pose. With this pose, you can improve your joints and arm strength too. Then you can try the hands to feet pose and the triangle. This pose requires your body’s strength and flexibility.

At the end of all these poses, make sure that you perform the corpse pose to regain any energy that has been lost during these free yoga exercise and also to give rest to your body.

You can try all these free yoga exercises one by one and see for yourself which ones work the best for you. Once you know the poses that benefit you the most, just make sure that you do not overstretch yourself in doing those exercises and that you follow the same set of exercises regularly.
