Daily Exercise

Exercise: Today's exercise is quite different but still has the same great effect, more muscle. The exercise today is for your forearms, and its called the Plate Pinch. Instead of two dumbbells you need two weight plates (that you would put on a bench press or curling bar).
 1. Grab two plates and put them together. Your starting position is: using your fingers to grip the outside part of the plate and your thumb for the other side thus holding both plates together.
 2. Squeeze the plate with your thumb and fingers and hold this position in the air for as long as you can. Try to hold this for 60-90 secs.
 3. Repeat. 
*Note: Don't rest the weights against your thighs.*

Daily Exercise

Exercise: Today's exercise is for your obliques. Obliques are the muscle on the outside of your abs, they are just as important as your abs even though many people ignore simply them. Today's exercise can be performed with one kettle-bell or one heavier dumbbell.
 1. Hold the bell in your hand, palm facing inwards. Let the dumbbell hang by your side and stand straight up, looking forward. This will be your starting position.
 2. At your hips bend sideways until you can't bend sideways anymore. Then at the same pace, bend back upwards to your starting position.
 3. Repeat.
