Most upper body exercises focus on building strength. However, in order to get the most out of your work is always advisable to mix in some cardiovascular exercises such as jogging and spinning and alternate your exercise routine with some lower body exercises too.

Before starting any training, spend at least 10 minutes doing some warm-up and basic stretching exercises. A good warm up, not only helps to activate blood circulation throughout the body, but also prevents the muscles and tissues of the lesion, making them more flexible and supple. Depending on whether you are looking to increase muscle mass or just the tone of the body that you can customize your workout regimen to include more weights or perform more reps.

If you are looking to achieve overall fitness and increase flexibility then you can start with some simple exercises. Most can be performed without any hi technology, using just a set of free weights that provide the necessary tension or compression to the muscles. Resistance material may also be use as springs and rubber straps with handles that work by offering resistance to stress.

It is important to note that if the experience of more normal discomfort while doing any exercise is a sign of trouble. Ask your doctor to find out the cause of pain before resuming your exercise routine.

Push-ups

Curl is one of the more traditional upper body exercises. Lie on your back with his hands under his shoulders and slowly force to keep the back and legs straight. If you want a more intense, slower action to push up and then fall back to the floor again. Start with 20 initially and then gradually increase the number of repetitions to 80.

Chest Exercises

Chest exercises help strengthen the upper torso. Start with hand weights that weigh about 10 pounds (4.5 kg). Lie on your back, preferably on a flat surface, like a rug or carpet and maintain arms extended perpendicular to the body. Hold a dumbbell in each palm and lift and carry hands together slowly.

Alternatively, bending your elbows when arms are raised to about 20 degrees, straightens it and continue. This exercise is very effective in the biceps.

Latissmus Dorsi Exercises

At the peak of inhalation, thrust the arms away from body, palms inward. Exhale as you raise arms to shoulder height, hands slowly lower to starting position.

To work the triceps and biceps repeat this exercise but rotate and curl the weight of your arms up at the top of the swing. Hold out your arm and then lower to starting position.

Biceps and triceps

Keep the weight on the front your body and keep your arms hanging in front of the thighs. Now pull the dumbbells toward your chest and alternative to the use of each arm. Do 10 repetitions a day for each arm. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any low back pain with these exercises.

Exercises for lats and biceps also can be done with free weights or a long elastic resistance strap. Hook one foot through the strap and grab both ends with your hand so that you can get a good stretch.

Pull-ups and Chin-ups

Pull-ups and Chin-ups are an ideal way to develop the biceps, triceps, lats and pectoral muscles at once. Chin-ups are made by a strong grab bar with your fingers toward you, while the pull-ups are carried out with the fingers, while his hands grasp the bar above his head. These exercises can be done easily in a gym, playground or even at home there is always a solid door.

The key to the development of a large body is to increase strength and endurance gradually. Do not overdo any exercise routine.
