How do you put together the best workout plan for the butt and thighs? First you need to understand a little of how those muscles work together with the rest of the body. Then you can devise a routine that target it!

The butt and thighs are part of a series of muscles call the posterior chain being primarily comprised of the lower back, butt, and hamstrings. The posterior chain works together to do things like lift things from the floor, run, jump and lunge. When you do exercise that work the whole posterior chain you will see the most dramatic results in your butt and thighs. That is because using the muscles together allows you to lift more weight or sprint faster or jump higher, which in turns stresses the muscles more than isolation exercises. The more challenging your workouts the better your butt and thighs will look.

What is important about the posterior chain is that it is often ignored or marginalized in many exercise routines. Squats, leg press, light jogging, while all good effective exercises do not challenge your posterior change to a significant degree.

Another key thing to note is that the posterior chain is supported by other muscles; the abdominals and the hip flexors. So if you want to help develop your butt and thighs, you also need to make sure your abs and hip flexors are strong enough to support your new exercise routine.

The final point to make is that the muscles in the posterior chain are often tight so stretching the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings are a must.

So what does all this mean?

* Simply that you should incorporate exercises like dead lifts, hyperextensions, good mornings, and lunges into your weight workout plan
* If your usual cardio routine is 30 to 45 minutes or moderate running or bike riding, try changing it to doing intervals or sprinting
* Include some plyometric work in your routine such as box jumps
* Hit a yoga class once a week to stretch those tight areas
* Lastly include sit ups and leg raises in your abdominal routine.

Before you know it, with this new workout plan, your butt will be just bootiful and you will lose weight quickly.

The wintry weather brings many, not least the irritation and serious pain of chapped hands.

As the year comes to an end, and the Xmas celebrations loom on the horizon, some people have little to celebrate when they consider the condition of their skin. Poor skin health, it appears, is an recurring concern for a significant number of people. The failing climate often leads to a drying of the skin. This, in turn, may result in sore and chapped skin particularly on the hands.

However, with just a little bit of tender care and awareness, chapped hands are generally easily alleviated.

Regrettably, in the course of our typical, everyday modern life, we unwittingly subject our skin to a mixture of chemicals and possible allergens. These impurities can acutely affect our skin’s ability to operate efficiently. For most people this is not a serious concern – until the ice of winter begins to bite.

Crisp drying winds can dramatically act to further deteriorate skin that is already afflicted with dryness due to water loss. Combine the chill of the outside with the decreased humidity warmth of centrally heated offices and all of a sudden the outlook for skin can be rather downcast.

At this time the skin can become sensitive and chapped.

The reverse of the hands, across the knuckles, is an area generally prone to chapped skin. This is because the hands are more often bared to the tough external environment. The hands are also made to endure frequent abrasion as you go about your daily tasks. Repeated contact with cleansing products may also play a factor in skin deterioration.

The palm of the hand has a fairly tough epidermis. Here, increased protection is called for. A stratum of cells referred to as the lucidum has evolved on the palms to aid them withstand the regular wear and tear of everyday life. However, the skin of the hand does not have an even structure. More weak, thinner skin covers the rear of the hand. Nevertheless, both the front and the rear of a person’s hands are frequently subjected to identical rigours and this is when problems can develop.

As the of autumn into winter, chapped hands may make their existence felt just as the first frosts shroud the early morning terrain. Those who are principally likely to experience chapped skin are people who work predominantly outside. Similarly, those who follow private lives that necessitate lengthy time out of doors are similarly prone. Even if your only long venture out of doors is to clean up the dropped leaves from the grass, chapped hands can be an undesirable nuisance.

If you sustain cold weather induced chapped skin or sore hands, you will have only one essential question. What is the most effective course of action to help allay the condition?

Minimizing the dryness of your skin is a vital initial action. By making sure that your skin is correctly moisturised, you will help retain its normal suppleness. This will help promote a smooth, soft epidermis. This, consequently will diminish the chance of sore and chapped skin. Certainly, consistent moisturising builds the foundation of any productive treatment.By Peter Friswell
