While working on their arms, many people concentrate on the biceps and completely forget about the workouts for the triceps. Of course, working on your triceps is super important since you have to develop these muscles in order to have strong and relief arms. So how to train your triceps and grow beautiful muscles? This is the question we’ll try to answer in this article.
Is It Difficult to Develop Triceps?
Many people believe that growing triceps is extremely challenging, but luckily, it’s not true. The thing is anatomically triceps are rather easy to train and eventually grow. At the same time, these muscles easily get sore after training and therefore impact your entire arm workout routine since you aren’t able to do certain exercises. In general, working on triceps is not as difficult as many people think, yet it still requires some time and effort.
How Long Does It Take To Grow Triceps?
The amount of time it takes to develop triceps depends on what you are striving for as well as what you start with. For example, if you are skinny and you just want to make your arms more fit, a few months will be enough. In case you want to grow really pronounced muscles, you might need from 6 to 12 months. At the same time, if you have some extra pounds, working on your triceps can take longer since you also have to lose weight. As you can see, every situation is different, so it’s hard to give you the precise amount of time you’ll need to grow your triceps.
How Often Should I Exercise?
To grow any muscle group as well as be healthy and fit, you need to work out at least three times a week. Of course, you need to understand that even if you try to develop triceps, you still have to work on other muscle groups, so all the muscles in your body are harmoniously developed. In general, most trainers recommend doing 4-6 exercises for triceps during your workouts. Each exercise has to be done in 2-3 sets, while the set has to have 10-15 repetitions. In addition to that, you have to keep in mind that you should start with simple workouts and gradually move towards more advanced ones to see the results of your training sessions.

Sure, everyone familiar with running knows the importance of strengthening the foot and ankle ligaments. The other thing is that sometimes it's hard to spend 5-10 minutes preparing for ankle exercises: we get dressed, lace up our shoes and run down the street. This is unfortunate. After all, good elastic ligaments can reduce the risk of leg pain. And strong ankle muscles can improve lower back and even shoulder strength when you're running or just walking.
Of course, there are plenty of good exercises to help you strengthen your ankles, so without further ado, let's take a look.
Stretching
Sit on the floor and straighten your leg in front of you. It's important to make sure your big toe, little toe, and heel stay in the same direction as you extend your foot. Only then the muscles will be strengthened and stretched in a balanced manner so that you don't walk and run with your foot falling out or in. While pulling your foot apart, stretch your toes as much as possible, as if you were lengthening them, without tucking them under your feet. Repeat 15 times.
Rolling Pose
From a seated position, place your feet in front of you and bring your feet as close to yourself as possible. Spread your knees and keep your feet together. Keeping your feet in this position, place your hands on the floor, bend your body forward and lift your pelvis off the floor and try to stay in this position for a while. If you feel your potential, you can roll to the left and to the right, touching your feet with the palms of your hands.
Rising and falling Exercise
It is traditionally recommended to do these on a ladder, but doing them slowly on a flat surface will give good results. Raise your toes as high as you can, keeping your heels in the air, then bend your knees so your heels are forward. Place your heel on the floor and then straighten your leg. It is very important to make sure your knees and ankles don't flip or drop.
Dumbbell Squats
Deep squats are good for developing the ankles, and when combined with dumbbells or barbells (if you have trained enough), this exercise is even more effective. Start with dumbbells that you can lift 15 times without dropping to the floor. 2-3 kg is suitable for beginners. Bodybuilders need to lift more weight to develop their leg muscles. Make a deep squat as follows: stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides, holding a dumbbell, or if you are doing the exercise with a barbell, place it in front of your chest or behind your head. Sit down with your knees bent and your hips on the floor. Keeping your back straight, squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Keep your knees straight over your feet at all times and do not extend your knees further than your toes. Return to the starting position. Perform 2 sets of 10-15 squats each.
Lunges
Keeping your torso straight and your shoulders back, step forward and sit until both knees are at a 90-degree angle. Your knees should not protrude over your toes. Do a series of two on each leg and repeat 10 times.
Final Words
Strengthening your ankles is crucial for professional and amateur athletes alike, so whether sports are your life or you're just exercising to stay healthy, in is necessary to work on your ankles.

Repeat lifting and lowering the barbell, then lifting and lowering again.Do not lift as the bar passes over your face, but lower it toward you for optimal trajectory.If the bar remains in front of you instead of over your body at the apex, you will increase the load on your lower back. Try lifting the bar behind your head. Perform 3-5 sets of 6-8 movements each.
Free Arm Pushups
The exercise itself is a repetition of a smaller range of push-ups with the barbell raised.Stand in an inverted position with your feet against the wall. Bend your elbows to lower your body and place your head on the floor. Lower your head backward and repeat. Be careful when lowering your head to the floor (any unintentional movement can injure your neck).Placing a blanket or thick book under your head will make the exercise more effective.To make it more difficult, place some kind of solid support under your arms. The more reps you do in a set, the better. Perform 3-5 sets, depending on your mood.

Fit and strong arms is the goal of every fitness enthusiast. The thing is our arms are always the center of attention because it’s pretty difficult to hide them under clothes throughout most of the year. So how to make sure your arms look good in any clothes? Well, this is exactly what we’re going to talk about in this article. So without any further ado, let us begin.
Do Not Expect Immediate Results
Most people believe that a month of exercising is enough to see drastic results and therefore if they don’t see any progress, they simply give up. Of course, it’s not the best strategy. In fact, you shouldn’t expect immediate results. You have to move towards your goal gradually and patiently. The thing is, because of our anatomy, growing arm muscles is pretty challenging, especially if you want to get rid of the fat in the triceps area. So take baby steps and do not give up if you don’t see the result after just a few weeks of training.
Always Warm Up before Training
Many people underestimate warming up, thinking it’s not necessary. Obviously, it is wrong. You have to warm up before doing any type of exercise to avoid injuries, especially if you do not do sport regularly. So how to warm up before an arm workout? Here are some simple warmup exercises:
Arm rotation (2-3 minutes)
Arm stretches above your head
Scissors exercise
Wrist rotation (2 minutes)
These simple exercises will help you warm up and proceed to more challenging workouts for arms.
Do Effective Exercises
Not all the exercises can actually help you achieve your goal, which is why it is important to select those workouts that actually work. We recommend the following exercises for developing arm muscles:
Lateral raise
Push-ups
Plank
Dumbbell row
Plank to push-up
Incline bicep curl
Underhand seated row
Prone dumbbell spider curl
Diamond press-up
Javelin press
These workouts will surely help you work on your arms, so make sure to find out more about them as well as try them.
Stretch After Your Workout
Stretching is extremely important for pretty much all muscle groups and arms are not an exception. It helps to relieve muscle tension as well as prevent muscle soreness. So after you are done with the strengthening exercises for your arms, make sure to stretch for at least a few minutes. You can do the following stretching exercises:
Eagle arms
Standing bicep stretch
Reverse prayer
Horizontal arm extensions
Assisted side bend
Overhead triceps and shoulder stretch
Fingers up and down stretch

These simple stretches will surely help you reduce or even avoid muscle soreness after working out, so give them a try.

Gorgeous abs are perhaps the biggest dream of all fitness enthusiasts as well as professionals. However, not many people know how to get abs and pretty often make a lot of mistakes while trying to work on their abs. Therefore, in this article, we will talk about abs and how to get them quickly and stress-free
Your Abs Are What You Eat
Not many people know it, but your diet is extremely important for achieving relief abs. Of course, it doesn’t mean that you have to starve yourself or follow weird diets, but working out is definitely not enough to achieve such a goal. The thing is to build muscles you need protein, which means that you have to include more protein into your diet. At the same time, high qualities of sugar and Natrium (salt) provoke swelling that sort of hides the relief of the muscles even if you don’t have much belly fat. Thus, to get the six-pack, you have to make your diet healthier as well as drink enough water, and together with exercising, it will help you get the body of your dreams.
Don’t Overestimate Your Abilities
Many people think that the more they exercise and the less they eat - the better. Obviously, it’s not true. You have to adequately evaluate your abilities and consider those while working out and dieting. Trust us, starving yourself and exercising for 3 hours every day won’t bring better results. It will only damage your health, both physical and mental. So don’t worry if you cannot see the results after a few weeks of training and healthy dieting, just keep going and you’ll surely reach your goal.
Core and Back Muscles Are Essential
Probably 90% of people who would like to get abs usually forget about the core muscles and work only on their abs. This is a huge mistake. As a matter of fact, to have relief abs, you have to work on your core muscles simply because these muscles are close to each other, moreover, abs are a part of the core, so it’s impossible to get relief abs without working on the core. Therefore, working on your core will significantly boost the entire process. In addition to that, you shouldn’t forget about the back muscles. You see, our posture heavily influences the way our belly looks. You have probably already seen skinny people with weird and unproportioned bellies. Well, that happens because they have weak back muscles and their spine is curved in the way that makes their bellies sort of come forward. So in order to avoid that, make sure to strengthen your back muscles too.
Best Workouts for Abs
To wrap up, we would like to list some of the best workouts for abs, core, and back. So here they come:
Plank
Diagonal twists
Deadlift
Pushups
Bent-over row
Plank push-ups
Pull-up
Crunches
TRX suspension row
Leg lifts from lying position
Lat pulldown
Final Thoughts
A stunning six-pack is the biggest dream of many fitness enthusiasts and, luckily, it’s totally possible to make it come true. So consider the things we talked about in this article and start moving toward your goal now.
