Leg Press
The Leg Press is a type of resistance training exercise and an excellent way to strengthen your legs. Like all strength training exercises, leg presses build muscle, reduce the risk of injury, and counteract age-related muscle loss.
Bent Over Rows
Bent Over Rows build your back muscles, and as they increase in strength your posture will also improve so you don’t slump as much. Directly stimulating your lats, traps, rhomboids and rotator cuffs works wonders for your body.
Lat Pulldowns
Lat Pulldowns are a fantastic exercise to strengthen the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back, which promotes good postures and spinal stability.
Tricep Kickbacks
Triceps kickbacks build functional strength. With proper form, the triceps kickback can enhance stability and flexibility in your shoulders and arms.
Iso Lateral Row
Iso Lateral Row-Builds size and strength in the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, middle and lower traps, and biceps. You can go heavier than most free-weight row variations.
Push Ups
Basic Push Ups are beneficial for building upper body strength. They work the triceps, pectoral muscles, and shoulders. When done with proper form, they can also strengthen the lower back and core by engaging (pulling in) the abdominal muscles.
Pin Backs
Pin Backs are a great exercise designed for your shoulders. Doing them correctly will increase your range of motion, reduce tension, and improve flexibility.
Warm It Up!
Warming your body up prior to exercise is beneficial for several reasons. One of the main reasons it is important to take the time to warm your body up prior to exercise is for injury prevention. Increasing your body temperature prior to exercise reduces your chances of muscle and tendon injuries. The more oxygenated blood flow and circulation you have to your muscles prior to use, the more agile they will become causing the margin for injury to decrease significantly. Warming up can also help activate your joints, tendons, and ligaments which will help increase your range of motion during exercise. An example of a warmup would be a brisk 5-10 minute walk on the treadmill.
