Muscles get stronger every time we demand them to do something tha makes them work hard. Lifting weights is want some people do to get stronger. But lifting weights is not a good idea until you’ve stopped growing. Weight lifting must be supervised very carefully by an adult.
So here are some ways to get stronger by using your own body and the force of gravity.
1. LEGS
90-degree angle. Don’t bend any farther.
Hold for 1 seconds; repeat 3 times.
2. SOUPER CURLS
For this you’ll need two tins of soup. Make sure you put them back in the cup-board when you’re finished with them.
Knees slightly bent. Keep arm out slightly in front of you.
Do 15 curls on each arm.
3. LOWER BACK
1. Press back against floor.
2. Tilt pelvis up; tighten buttocks.
4. STOMACH
Lift head and shoulders off the floor and reach to past knees.
Do 10 times; hold for count of 3.
5. PUSH-UPS
Only do this kind if you’re already pretty strong.
It’s very important to keep your back straight.
If you’ve never done push-ups before, you should try them this way, on your knees, until you build up strength in your arms.
Do 10 times. Knees on floor. Back straight.
AS YOUR STRENTH INCREASES, YOU CAN DO MORE REPETITIONS OF EACH EXERCISE.
