Specialized Sport Workout Tips What is my exercise heart rate range?
Arm Wrestling The needed supplements are listed at the bottom of each article. _____________________________________________________
A good strengthening exercise for arm wrestling, is the bicep Nautilus machine. You can sit sideways on the seat and do one armed put downs with weight. Remember to keep your form and don't get sloppy and hurt something. The shoulders, biceps, triceps, chest, wrist and some upper back are very useful in this sport. Exercises: arms: dumbbell concentration curls, wide grip bar curls, triceps push-downs. Using a straight bar or curl bar will strengthen the wrist too. Shoulder and rotator cuff muscles need to be strong. Besides the chest muscles, exercises: dumbbell fly's, incline bench press and flat bench press. Protein
Baseball is one of American's favorite sports. With all the instant running, cardio respiratory is very important.

Weight Exercises: leg press, smith squats (down as low as you can go), calf raises, bench press, and side laterals for shoulders. Don’t concentrate too much on the weight lifting or bulking up. You need to be quick, that’s why I limited the exercises to the ones listed above.

Bodybuilding is a sport that focuses on the appearance of the body. It may look easy although, there is a lot of dedication behind the scenes. The significance of your appearance leads us to the two basic principles nutrition and dedicated weight training. I’m not going to talk much about nutrition but this is an art. I will say you must take in at least 1 gram protein per body weight. This includes nutrition with hard training then, pre-contest nutrition, which encompasses many different programs in a very short period of time. The off-season is heavy muscle gaining period. At this stage you may get to look like a big fat slob. The muscle training includes an extensive detailed program. This includes building the larger muscles then working on every detailed muscle to add every groove, dent, and indentations. In the off season, you would want to use higher weight and low reps (8-12). The exercises should include a 2 second concentric contraction (resistance of weight moving against gravity) and a 6 second eccentric contraction ( resistance of weight moving with gravity). Here are a few exercises. Exercises: chest: incline bench press, decline bench press, flat bench presses, fly’s arms: bicep curls, triceps push-downs, dumbbell kickbacks, reverse push-downs. Shoulders: dumbbell laterals, dumbbell front raises, dumbbell rear raises. Back: lat pull-downs, rows, and low back extension machine. Legs: squats, leg extensions, leg curls, adduction, abduction, hack squats, calf raises. Here are some other exercises Plyometric exercises: split squat jump, multiple bob-to-box squat jumps, stadium hops, moving split squat with cycle.
Bowling is a sport that isn't a continuous cardio workout. Exercises: pectoral deck, incline bench press, front dumbbell raises, bicep curls, lat pull-downs, abduction, adduction, and abdominal. Plyometric exercises: one legged box hops. one-legged hops. If a muscle is tight or tired, you won’t have control. With this game there aren’t a lot of outside muscle exercises besides, just continuous practice. However, regular outside cardio respiratory training will raise your endurance level. Energy Bars
Cricket is a very popular sport in other countries. With all the instant running, cardio respiratory is very important. You need to include
Plyometric drills, exercises: skipping, side to side box shuffle, alternate bounding with single arm action, jump forwards, sprints, line jumps, bounding, depth jumps, lateral jump with two feet, lateral jump over barrier, incline push-up depth jumps. Medicine ball exercises: over-under, trunk rotation, pullover pass, overhead throw, side throw and power drop. These will help to increase your strength and starting power. When training with weights, it’s good to train for explosive motions with the large muscles as well. Exercises: burst flat and incline bench press, push-up claps, burst pull downs, burst leg press and burst squats. You must learn how to breathe. I know this sounds funny because you say, that’s dumb. Remember when you are jumping, pushing against resistance to explode your breathing out. The negative parts of the exercise or going with gravity you inhale. You can add regular weight lifting exercises to your routine too.
Cycling is an excellent cardio respiratory activity. Outside cycling is the favorite because, of the variety of terrain and beautiful scenery which, leads to longer cardio workout. It is a good inexpensive source of transportation. Use a bicycle with at least 10 speeds to help you keep a constant speed on hilly terrain. When you get tired, you can shift down to rest or make it to the end of your ride. Always warm-up and cool down with a 5 to 10 minutes of low resistance cycling. Cycling uses obviously the leg muscles. Even though, the low back hip muscles and arms (triceps) play a very important role as well. You want to train your muscles for endurance and make sure they are well fueled well before. This would mostly be with lighter weight and reps around 15-25 for 3-4 sets. Legs: Exercises: squats, leg press, leg curls, leg extension, seated calf raises (heels in and out positions), hip adduction, hip abduction exercises. Plyometric exercises: split squat with cycle, single leg push-off, squat depth jump and stadium hops. Back: exercises: light straight legged dead-lifts, extensions on machine or free weight on a sit-up horse (Don’t come up pass 180 degrees (where your body is parallel to the floor) on the horse. Make sure there is good back support on the low back machine before you get a stretch from a slight hyperextension. This is what supports your torso from the road bumps and the environment so, it needs to be strong. Arms: exercises: triceps press-downs, dumbbell-kickbacks. Energy bars.
Downhill skiing is another cardio reparatory required sport. Don’t let yourself get dehydrated under the layers of clothes.

Hydrate just means to add a couple extra glasses of water to your pre-consumption. A quick absorption of amino acids is a product called L-Glutemine powder. Training exercises: leg extension, leg curls, leg press (at all angles), one-legged presses, adduction, abduction exercises, abdominal and low back exercises.

Aquatic activities are an excellent form of cardio respiratory endurance exercise. Swimming is a very good alternative for those with chronic orthopedic problems, recent muscle injury or a skeletal injury. A good cool down and warm up is walking in waist or chest high water.
