Bodybuilding Exercises for Everybody

By Wakelin Smith


If you're looking to start a bodybuilding exercise program, make sure you do one that's right for you. Not everybody's body type is the same. Therefore, if you are very slim, you shouldn't use traditional bodybuilding exercises, because it's likely they will not work for you. They weren't designed for people who are very slender. If you want to gain weight, you'll need to focus on things like proper posture, stabilizing your shoulders, becoming more flexible, stabilizing your core, doing overall body conditioning, and more.

If you have poor posture, you'll need to work with exercises that will help align your posture and your body overall. Good posture is going to help you before you even begin. Because many bodybuilders have good posture naturally, their programs don't include this information specifically. However, having proper posture can make you look more if it simply because you're holding yourself better.

When you work on bodybuilding exercise, you'll also need to learn how to stabilize your shoulders. If your shoulders aren't stable, this can actually be detrimental to you when you're trying to work on bodybuilding. You can injure your shoulders and therefore yourself if you don't hold your shoulders properly. You don't want to be in pain in a few years just because you didn't do the proper techniques required for responsible bodybuilding and best results.

Another thing you'll need for proper bodybuilding exercise is core stability. Core stability helps protect your lower back by strengthening your core muscles. Doing things wrong could cause you a lifetime of lower back pain. Therefore, if you've been engaging in bodybuilding workouts and you find you have lower back pain, stop. Those workouts are designed for people who already have core stability. Stabilize your core before you begin a weight-training program to help you gain weight. If you don't, you'll only risk injuring yourself.

In addition, your bodybuilding exercise program should focus on flexibility. You need flexibility throughout your body, including your lower body and your upper body. If you're stiff before you begin to work out, engage in some flexibility exercises before you begin bodybuilding in earnest by using stretches and exercises designed for your body type that will give you maximum flexibility. If you don't stretch properly and make sure you're flexible before you begin bodybuilding, you could injure yourself.

There's another point that needs to be made, too. If you have well-developed muscles in some places on your body and less developed muscles in other places, this may keep you from optimally using conventional bodybuilding exercise programs. If this is true for you, your bodybuilding exercise program must be customized so that you build every muscle in your body up to the same degree; no muscles should be underdeveloped compared to others so that you could be limited and not in your best shape.

In addition to your bodybuilding exercise program, you'll also need to do overall conditioning. Overall conditioning requires that you add cardiovascular exercise, too. Even though cardiovascular exercise may not help you "bulk up," it still exercises your heart and lungs, which is necessary for proper health and maximum benefit. In addition, this type of training is also going to help keep you from getting injured while you work on gaining weight by building muscle.

You'll need to know about many things if you want to engage in a bodybuilding exercise program that will turn your slender frame into one with plenty of muscle. The best program is going to include exercises that will work on everything, from your core stability, to your posture, to stabilize your shoulders, to making you as flexible as possible, and improving your overall conditioning through cardiovascular exercise. Having a ball got physique is great, but if you want this, you'll need to learn the right techniques for your particular body type.
