( 1 ). Incline Bench Press :

Description:

Essentially an elevated bench press, but the elevation affects the muscle being targeted.

Tips:

Common mistakes people tend to make when exercising with an incline bench press are: setting the bench at a high incline (over 50 degrees), arching their backs, bouncing the bar off their chest, and locking of elbows.

Try to avoid making the above errors by keeping good form and keeping the incline of the bench at below 50 degrees.

Finally, the position of your thumb is important. Grip the bar with your thumbs in opposition to your fingers, this is a more natural grip and safer for lifting.

( 2 ). Kettle Bells :

Description:

Kettle bells have become very popular in the fitness world, there are a ton of different exercises you can do with kettle bells. Fitness enthusiasts are using them for strength training and cardio. Take a look at the video for different ways to use kettle bells.

Muscles Used:

A lot of different muscle groups. Depends on which exercise you choose to do.

( 3 ). Lat Pulldown :

Description:

Used for strengthening your muscle, or lats as they are known. Pull downwards toward you, keeping your elbows and back straight. Google a picture of Bruce Lee and you’ll see the lats you’re capable of attaining with this machine.

Tips:

As counter intuitive as it may sound to some people, do not lower the bar to the belly; if you are doing this, it means you are not using enough weight.

Avoid bending your torso to get help from your chest and ab muscles, and complete all movements when exercising with a lat pull-down machine. Your grip shouldn’t be too wide and it should be even.

( 4 ). Leg Abduction :

Description:

Opening and closing your legs, pushing the weight resistance outwards. A most popular gym machine among ladies, perfect for toning legs and butt.

Tips:

This is a very specific exercise for the leg adductors, the long adductor in particular. This workout machine works well for both beginners and advanced athletes.To stay injury free, make sure you warm up adequately before jumping on the machine.

Never be in a hurry and perform the exercise rather slowly, as it is possible to injury the muscles by doing it abruptly.Once warmed up, avoid making these common mistakes when working out with the leg adduction/leg abduction

gym equipment:

not using enough weight, opening your legs too wide, and doing the exercise too rapidly.

( 5 ). Leg Curl Machine :

Description:

Laying on your stomach and facing the floor, lifting with your legs upwards towards your lower back. Sqeeuzing at the top and holding for a second or two, feel it in your hamstrings. A good tool to use for either toning down or bulking up your legs.

Tips:

In addition to the lying leg curl, some of the more popular exercise types include: toes in, toes out, single leg, standing single leg, and seated as well.

Extending you knees too far as you lower the weight, lifting the weight too fast to gain momentum, and also not placing the knees in line with the axis of the machine are all some of the most common mistakes made by people in the gym using this exercise machine.

Interestingly, the leg curl machine, both lying and/or standing, is more specific and safer but just as effective as the deadlift when it comes working the hamstrings.

Even though the leg curl machine uses less weight. The deadlift on the other hand may seem as more effective, because of the extra weight involved, but this is due to the other muscles involved in performing a deadlift.

( 6 ). Leg Extension :

Description:

Lifting the weights up with your quads, holding steady for a second or two once you fully extend at the top. Leg extension machines are the perfect gym equipment to use when you are rehabilitating from an injury or just trying to strength train your quads.

Tips:

Avoid twisting hips and knees as you move the weight, especially when lowering the weight to the machines limit. Avoid fast movements just to gain momentum, remember that form is superior to everything else in bodybuilding.

Flexing and/or extending the foot does not change the work done by the quadriceps

( 7 ). Leg Press :

Description:

Ultimate leg training machine. Laying down with you back against a makeshift wall, push the platform/weights upwards; do not lock your joints. Perfect machine to train legs with.

Tips:

This machine is just as good as the squat machine as far as building strength and developing the muscle, however, it is good for protecting the back, due to the machine (with your help) holding it in position.

Common mistakes fitness enthusiasts make when performing the leg press exercise are: lifting of the hips as the weight is lowered. Also, it is advised against ever locking your knees at the top of the movement, while your legs are fully extended.

Incomplete and/or exaggerated movement will not result in an efficient workout either. Finally, avoid using too much or too little weight and be sure to push with both of your legs equally.

( 8 ). PecDeck Machine :

Description:

This type of gym equipment was designed to isolate and work the chest. A favorite for beginner bodybuilders as it has a unique motion that feels good when performing.

Tips:

To properly use the peck deck machine, sit back with your elbows at about 90 degrees, on the mid-chest level. Push to bring the arms together in front of your face,

Breathe in as you are opening your arms, going as far back as flexibility will allow (but be careful if you’re using heavy weights); breathe out at you bring the arms together again.

Common mistakes include too little travel and too much travel. Too little reduces the exercises effect and too much can cause injury. Do not separate the elbows from the bar, meaning you’re pushing with your hands instead.

( 9 ). Precher Curl :

Description:

While seated, the preacher curl bench helps you isolate and train your biceps. A perfect place for beginners to start biceps training by utilizing a lighter barbell and lifting up and down; slowly bringing the weight down.

Tips:

Sit with your underarms at the top of the edge and your triceps resting on the preacher bench pad. Whether you are doing one handed dumbbell exercises, such as hammer grips or one arm twists, or whether you are using a barbell, follow the above technique.

Contrary to popular belief, this workout is not superior in building that biceps “peak.” But it does prevent you from cheating when working out biceps, and provides them with a precise contraction; separating the elbow movement from the rest of your body.

Do not extend your arm too far, as this can result in injury. Also do not shift your body downwards toward the weight, just to get leverage and complete the curl. Most importantly, do not use too much weight and combine that with lowering the bar or dumbbell too far down.

( 10 ). Pull Up Bar :

Description:

The best tool for upper body exercise and strengthening. You can pull yourself up with any grip, though palms facing froward is the most popular one seen in demonstrations. Different grips and hand positions can affect different muscles. You pull yourself up, until your chin is over the bar.

Tips:

Pullups are VERY demanding, especially for beginners. It is because of this that you must learn to master them. They are truly an excellent, and yes very demanding, upper body workout.

Keep your movements vertical, aligned, and complete when doing pullups. After a while, if you become an expert at it, you can hand a weight from your waist for additional resistance.

If you are a beginner, you should probably start with a lat pull-down machine, which will build your muscles and get them ready for pullups.

Mistakes include:

doing the exercise rapidly, incomplete movement, swinging your body, bending of the torso forward to attain help from your chest muscles, bending knees to get momentum.

Finally, do not extend your arms fully at the end of a downward movement.

A major advantage of the smith machine is for working out in the gym by yourself, when there is no one to spot you, but you still want to be safe; by simply turning and locking the bar. This is ideal for training squats on your own, and because of the balance it provides.

One advantage of the smith machine, however can also sometimes be a disadvantage if you’re not careful. The machine provides superior balance, which may cause you to want to lock your elbows as you are lifting the bar and reach the top; try to avoid doing this.
