If you want to strengthen and develop maximum muscle groups in a minimum possible time, then compound resistance training exercises make a perfect choice for you. Compound workouts target multiple muscle groups of your body simultaneously and help you get an attractive, muscular and sexy physique. Moreover, they help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system and increase bone mineral density.

Make sure that you perform 3-4 sessions of compound resistance training exercises in a week. There are numerous compound exercises that you can perform to train your upper as well as lower body. Hip Bridge with Bicep Curls makes a unique, sensational exercise that tends to train your buttocks, glutes, thighs, abs, and back muscles all at the same time. This exercise makes use of a ball or chair, resistance band and dumbbells.

In order to perform this exercise, lie down on the ground and rest your feet on a chair or ball. Make sure that you wrap a resistance band around your feet to keep the movement of the legs in check. While holding free weights (dumbbells) in your both hands, lift your hips straight up in the air into a bridge position. Maintain this position for a few seconds and perform 10-12 reps of bicep curls. Now, bring your hips back to their starting position.

Resistance training exercises yield best results when you incorporate protein-rich diets into your daily dietary routine. Protein supplies your body with both amino acids and energy. When developing muscles are continuously supplied with the amino acids, they will recover and grow faster. Amino acids build lean muscle size and definition. They help gain more muscle strength and power. A regular consumption of protein-rich diets helps you achieve your training goals. Other important health benefits of protein are that it helps in muscle oxygenation, promotes hormonal health, and supports nerve and muscle function.

Rich dietary sources of protein include seeds, whole grains, pulses, lean meats, seafood, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, cereals and legumes. It is important that you avoid the consumption of fast and fatty foods as they both can ruin your muscle-building efforts. Don’t drink energy drinks, soft drinks, sodas and colas as they are rich in calories and add unwanted pounds to your body.

If you are new to body building and are not sure about how to perform Hip Bridge with Bicep Curls or other resistance training exercises, then make sure that you look for the services of a qualified fitness trainer in your area. Not only will he or she suggest you a right combination of compound resistance training exercises, but he will also guide you on how to execute them safely without doing any harm to your muscles. Moreover, he will also design you a balanced dietary plan keeping in view your age, sex, body mass index, physique, and training requirements. Last but not the least, the professional environment of the gym would get you an inspiration from other regular gym users so that you can perform resistance training sessions in a better and an effective way.
