Manhattan Business Owner Knows to Work Out and reaps the benefits in increased bottom line.

Young Manhattan professionals -Don't forget your body as you go for your Business & Career goals.

A Healthy Idea. WARNING the feeling from exercising and exercising itself is addictive, but I think you can handle it.

Remember your body is craving for you to do these quick weight lifts. Your body has everything in place, ready to go.

Don't Ever be discouraged (A wasted and damaging emotion), do what you can. If some emergency happens in your life and you miss a few days or any amount of time JUST jump back in. Exercising your body compared to not Exercising your body is always the positive choice.

There are also floor exercises you can do to work on each of these muscle groups.

A guide I put together years ago.

For a close to complete body workout, knock off these weight exercises daily or every other day. A pair of dumbbells is all that is needed for most exercises. If you don't have dumbbells use pressure against a wall or doorway, etc. Of course use no equipment and knock off lots of push ups and sit ups. I think a short workout with weights is a good start before knocking off quality push ups, plus you can be in any shape to do the following weight routine. OF COURSE, IF YOU haven't been exercising start any weight lifting at the number of repetitions that's good for you. Unless you are young and can push yourself without getting hurt, do the number of repetitions that is good for you, even if that is ONE lift of each type exercise. You will be in shape in no time, but you have to start sometime.

It's amazing how fast the body can get into good shape if you stick with it. I'm talking a few weeks. You may not be at the exact body shape or strength goals you set, but I Guarantee you will feel completely different. If you don't it means you haven't advanced to the weight level or number of repetitions that your body is craving.

If you can combine this with Yoga (good flexibility will make you feel great and is a treat for your body) and aerobic activity, i.e. biking, swimming, fast walking, aerobics class, running, baseball, softball, tennis, volleyball, rowing, hiking, etc. or most any fun aerobic game or exercise then you are off to a Great Health Start.

I GAURANTEE you will feel great, but I think you already know this. MAKE THE TIME, even if it is isometrics at your office desk or walking around the block. You do this enough and I guarantee you will crave to go further.

Throw in some good eating (maybe juicing greens and an apple) and everything in your life will be THE BEST including keeping everything in perspective, this includes handling challenges that come your way.

IMPORTANT: For maximum benefit and less likely hood of injury Stretch before and after each exercise, especially the area used in the exercise.

Shoulders/ Upper Arms Alternate Dumbbell Press

Trap. Deltoid Up Right Rows

Deltoid Lateral Arm Raise

Forward Dumbbell Raise

Biceps/ Forearms Alternate Dumbbell Curls Hammer Curl Concentration Curl Biceps Barbell curl

Pectorals Dumbbell Fly

Triceps Tricep Extension II

Abdominals/ obliques Side Bend

Many more good basic weight lifting but this covers a good amount.

There are also floor exercise you can do to work on each of these muscle groups.

If you have time see how many pushups or sit ups you can knock off in 2 minutes. (2 minutes of pushups and 2 minutes of sit ups).

A note: if your body is shaped for most strength on top, great concerning push ups. If your body is not shaped that way don't be discouraged with the push ups. Move on to the sit ups, you may be pleasantly surprised.
