Meatbolism plays a key role in fat loss and muscle development.  Metabolism is the rate at which your body turns food into energy. This energy is then stored in the form of fats and glucose. The more your body increases its percentage of utilizing energy, the more your muscle gains mass. To gain firm muscles, you will have to adapt to the stress upon your body and muscles.

As you build the muscles that you need, you have can now stick to supporting the lower part of your body and holding dumbbells to raise the muscle resistance and metabolism.

4. Stand straight, then use the dumbbell which has the heaviest weight that you can lift comfortably over the head. Grasp it at shoulder level with the palm of your hand and push it over your head until your arm reaches full extension before returning your arm back to the starting position. Do this exercise in 10 repetitions, slowly so that you will not strain your arm after which, switch the dumbbell to the other arm. Repeat three times using each hand.
