Exercises for Beautiful Hands

Trying on summer clothes in front of the mirror, you can see not an attractive picture – hand muscles has lost elasticity, become sluggish and put on some weight. You can solve this problem in several ways.

Method 1: out of sight

Of course, it's very unpleasant to feel that your muscles are not in good shape. "Sealing" yourself with long-sleeved blouses and jackets, you can hide this shortcoming. Of course, in summer, you will have to sweat.

Method 2: Tension

If the muscles are out of shape it is especially noticeable when moving hands. Therefore, you can ask yourself a setting to stretch the muscles at each wave of the hand. In this case, the surrounding will not see the flabbiness of the hand muscles, but only constraint motions.

Method 3: Rowing

Among fans of rowing the muscle tone of the hands is in order. For example, for a one-week trip by canoe hand muscles are pulled in a way that the problem recedes for at least 4 month. You don't have to go very far away from civilization, and can just wave paddles at city pools, rowing a boat.

Method 4: Home fitness

In order to keep hand muscles taut and beautiful you should work over three shoulder muscles: biceps, triceps and deltoid.

For the exercises you will need 2 dumbbells each 1.5 kg. They can be replaced with plastic bottles with water or sand.

While doing exercises test the tension of that muscle, which you are currently training.

Warming up
Jumping with skipping rope, an improvisation under the music or a fight with an imaginary opponent will be a perfect start of the training.  In order to warm up the shoulder muscles, use exercises which are known from childhood: rotating with straight hands and jerk bent in front of the breast with your hands.

Training deltoid muscle

If in 50's of the last century, people with sloping shoulders were considered to be fashionable, now everything has changed – the shoulders should be straight. This can be achieved by training the deltoid muscle, which is felt when we raise our hands up. The starting position for all exercises: stand up straight, feet at shoulder width, hands with dumbbells in your palms.

Lift slightly the hands to the shoulders.
Repeat this exercise 7-10 times.
Lift your hands straight ahead to the chest. Then drop them without bending.
Repeat this exercise 7-10 times.
Lift the dumbbells along the body to the armpits.

Repeat this exercise 7-10 times.

Training biceps
Is there any man who does not like to play with biceps, showing ladies his virility? Beautiful muscles can decorate even women's hands. You can feel biceps when you bend your arms in the elbow, putting the heavy bags bought for a week of provisions in the trunk.

The starting position for all exercises: stand straight, feet at shoulder width. Bend your arms in the elbow, in order to remain the elbows against the waist.

Repeat this exercise 7-10 times.

Bend your arms in the elbow one by one.

Repeat this exercise 5-7 times for each hand.

Training triceps

If the biceps and the deltoid muscles are always in motion, triceps always "sit" on the spare bench. This leads to the fact that people even youth, have unattractive triceps. So, seeing your friends off and shaking them goodbye, you can easily demonstrate to others your flabby triceps.

Exercises with dumbbells

Stand up straight, feet at shoulder width. Hands with dumbbells pressed to the body and the palms turned to the body. Lean forward.

Unbend and bend the hand, following that the elbows are pressed to the waist.

Repeat this exercise 7-10 times.

Lie on the stomach. Hands with dumbbells stretch along the body.
Raise your hands up.

Repeat this exercise 10-12 times.

Exercises without dumbbells – push-ups

Sit down squat back to the chair. Hands put on a seat.
Wring out from a chair.

Repeat this exercise 3-5 times.

Stand up in a distance of a step from the wall. Hands rest against the wall at chest level.

Wring out of the wall, keeping body straight following that the heels do not hop off the floor and hands in the final position are compressed against the body.

Repeat this exercise 3-5 times.

Training in this way three times a week, in a month will be noticeable that your hands are strong and the muscles are stretched.
