What Cardio Should I Be Doing?

Over the past year I’m hearing more and more of you ask me what sort of cardio you should be doing with varying goals and objectives. Unfortunately it is hard to answer because most of you have goals that are too broad e.g. I want to cut fat but I also still want to be able to run a half marathon. That said, In this article I’ll show you the different forms of cardio you can implement for the different goals you might want to prioritise.

OUR TOP TIPS

The 3 Best Exercises For Shoulder Mass

Whether you are a bodybuilder, fitness model, gym enthusiast or just someone who is into aesthetics, well crafted shoulders (deltoids) makes up for the complete look. Here are the three exercises that'll get your shoulders looking the part in no time at all:

Anterior Deltoid (front)

The Arnold Press - Seated upright hold two dumbells up to the chest, with your palms facing you. Then press them over the head whilst rotating the hands so the palms face away from you. As you bring the dumbells down you return to the starting position.

Lateral Deltoid (side)

Empty Can Lateral Raises - Standing or seated, hold two dumbells by the side of you. Raise them up so that you are in a 'on the cross' position. At the top part of the movement then twist your hands so that you are emptying the dumbell.

Rear Deltoid (back)

Bent Over Lateral Raises - Standing or seated, bend forward into a deadlift position. Then bring both dumbells up to the 'on the cross' position. You should end up looking like a bird in flight.
