Strength exercises

Strength exercises or also known as anaerobic exercises are among the most practiced exercises by fitness enthusiasts. These exercises are very popular because they help us to see results very easily. Through strength we manage to push the muscle fibers of our body to the limit and cause them to grow and strengthen. This allows us to increase our muscle mass while burning calories, so that our body begins to tone and show a healthier physical appearance.

During this guide we will be addressing some basic issues related to strength exercises, as well as recommending some of them so you can start working them.

Strength or Anaerobic Exercises

• Use of dumbbells to strengthen the shoulders: Dumbbells can be used to strengthen the shoulders through semicircular upward movements. It is a complementary exercise but it has a significant influence on the aesthetics of your body.

Do I need a trainer?

If this is the first time you are approaching strength exercises you will need a trainer to guide you correctly on the methodology to apply.
