Quick and easy muscle building workout:
1. Warm-up (5-10 minutes): Start with a warm-up to get your muscles warmed up and ready for exercise. You can do some light cardio such as jogging in place, jumping jacks, or dynamic stretching.
2. Bodyweight squats (3 sets of 15 reps): Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping your chest up and core engaged. Return to the starting position and repeat for 15 reps. This exercise targets your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.
3. Push-ups (3 sets of 10 reps): Get into a plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart, lower your body by bending your elbows and keeping your body in a straight line, and then push back up to the starting position. This exercise targets your chest, triceps, and shoulders.
4. Dumbbell rows (3 sets of 12 reps): Hold a dumbbell in one hand, place your opposite hand on a bench for support, bend your knees, hinge at your hips, and extend your arm towards the ground. Pull the dumbbell towards your torso, squeezing your shoulder blade, and lower it back down. Repeat for 12 reps on each arm. This exercise targets your back, biceps, and shoulders.
5. Dumbbell shoulder press (3 sets of 10 reps): Hold dumbbells at shoulder height, palms facing forward, and press the dumbbells overhead, fully extending your arms. Lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height and repeat for 10 reps. This exercise targets your shoulders and triceps.
6. Bicep curls (3 sets of 12 reps): Hold dumbbells with your palms facing forward, keeping your elbows close to your sides, curl the dumbbells towards your shoulders, and then lower them back down. Repeat for 12 reps. This exercise targets your biceps.
7. Cool-down (5-10 minutes): Finish with a cool-down to help your muscles recover and reduce the risk of injury. You can do some static stretching, deep breathing, or gentle cardiovascular exercise like walking or cycling at a slower pace.
Remember to start with weights that are appropriate for your fitness level and gradually increase the weight as you get stronger. It's also important to use proper form and technique to avoid injury. If you're new to exercise or have any health concerns, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new workout routine.
