First, let us see the Overhead Barbell Press. This is perhaps the most effective exercise for your shoulders. It exercises are the small parts of your shoulder mainly focusing on the front and middle part of the deltoid. For this exercise, you need a medium weight barbell with you. Clasp your hands around the barbell at around shoulder distance.

Now slowly bring the barbell to the forehead level by bending your elbows. Now slowly take the barbell above your shoulder to maximum height possible. Here, a few precautions are needed. Do not bend your back while lifting the barbell. Also, while lifting the weight, keep the abs in tight and don’t lock the elbows at the top of the movement. Repeat this exercise in sets of about 15 repetitions each.
The second exercise we will look at is the Squat Exercise. To practice this exercise, stand erect with a little gap between your feet, take a barbell of appropriate weight and place it on the back of your shoulder. Ensure that your head is looking straight ahead and your back is erect.

Now bend your knees to such extent that your thighs are bit lower than parallel to the floor. Hold the position for 5 seconds and then slowly return back to the original position. Squats are a very good exercise because they tend to exercise your entire body without you actually knowing about it. Squats increase your metabolism level so that your body burns calories very quickly and very efficiently. You should first start with three sets of squats consisting of 25 reps each. After a period of about two weeks, you should increase the number of reps to 50 without reducing the number of sets.

Now let us look at the last exercise to get that perfect abs in no time. To start off, lie flat on your back on an exercise mat. Lock your hands and put them behind your neck to give it the proper support that it needs. Now bend your knees a little bit and spread your legs to shoulder distance. Now slowly get up to your knees with the help of your abdomen muscles. Ensure that you do not put any unnecessary pressure on your head or neck. Once you get up, hold the position for 5 seconds and then slowly go down. Do at least 25 reps in each set.
