To be fit and of good shape is what every one of us should strive to do. For both males and females, good exercise makes us look better and even adds to our sexual appeal. Personal taste will determine if you wish to be heavily or slightly built. However, one thing that frustrates a lot of us is that after all that has been done, they still do not get the desired shape and size. But, there are some exercises that you can make use of.
Squats are good examples and are some of the very best exercises around. They help to strengthen the muscles of the buttocks and legs and this is in addition to helping with overall strength and fitness. To do a squat, you have to position yourself on a chair separating your feet and shoulders, and then you squat as if you are sitting down.
This particular muscle-building exercise has to be done for some seconds after which you raise your body up using the leg muscles. In a situation where you are making use of weights, it is good to have someone that will be watching you so that you do not drop the weights on yourself.
Another type of a muscle-building exercise is called bench press. This particular type of exercise is used to strengthen the muscles of the arm (biceps) and the forearm. To do the bench press, you will have to be on a bench as a support after which you remove the weight and slowly bring it down to the chest. This move has to be repeated until satisfied. However, you should not to overdo it. This is to prevent you from causing injury to yourself.

Furthermore, another of such muscle-building exercises is known as military press. This exercise is quite like the bench press described earlier on. The only difference is that in the military press, you will have to carry it out standing instead of lying down. Weights are also used here and a barbell is a very good example. You pick the barbell then hold it tight across your chest. While making the first move, you need the feet-shoulder space and then hold out the barbell across the chest. After this is done, the next thing for you to do is to lift the weight until the arms are hooked together. Muscle-building exercises have to be done regularly to have results.
