Body sculpting is the peak of being physically fit. If you consider yourself in good shape but know there are areas you need tighten on your body, these exercises can set you off in the right direction. One aspect men often overlook while body sculpting is balance. If your upper body is rock solid, you shouldn't neglect your lower body. These exercises help you find that perfect middle ground.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Exercise with bench presses. This classic exercise builds muscles in the arms and pectorals. Alternate your daily benching by focusing one day on benching a higher weight with fewer reps and pressing a smaller weight with twice as many reps the next day.

  2. Step 2

    Do tricep dips. Facing away from the front of the weight bench, place your palms on the seat, and extend your legs out so all your weight is in the hands. Slowly lower and raise your body the way you would a push-up.

  3. Step 3

    Focus on your abs. This is a great way to balance out the upper body. The decline sit-up is a challenging but simple way to focus on your abs. Locate a decline bench at your gym, and secure your feet at the top. Slowly perform a regular sit-up. The added gravitational resistance provides for maximum attention to the abs.

  4. Step 4

    Spend an equal amount of time on your lower body to make sure you have a balanced sculpting routine. Squats are always your best bet for strengthening your legs. Like benching, mix up your routine between heavy and light lifts.

  5. Step 5

    Work your quads. The quad extension machine is an easy and efficient way to work this leg muscle group.

Tips & Warnings
  • These exercises should be worked into a regular routine.
