Quick Dumbbell Upper Body Exercises

Today I get away a bit from the Total Gym and show you some of the exercises I do using Dumbbells all on their own without any benches or other equipment. I show you some shoulder, biceps, triceps and back exercises and even a revised pushup using dumbbells only.

Not too much to say in regards to my lose a few pounds, I seem to be staying pretty level but feel that I have lost a bit of weight in my waist area, will just have to keep plugging away at it...

Week 5 

Watch my YouTube video showing you some of my favorite Dumbbell exercises.

Total Gym Back Workout

Today I bring to you a Total Gym Back Workout video and show you some of my favorite exercises I do using my Total Gym. I really find the Total Gym compliments my free weight back routine and even strengthens my overall ability when using free weights.

A quick update on how my "lose a few pounds program" is going, well not so good last week, I think I may have even gained a pound :( Guess I had a bad week with to much socializing going on! Well, time to get back in it and get those last few pounds off.

Not much to show you you here but here is my photo sequence to date:

Total Gym Chest Workout

Here is my YouTube video focusing specifically on some of my favorite Chest Exercises using the Total Gym. I find the Total Gym gives me a very quick targeted chest workout and really works some of the hard to get supporting muscles a regular chest workout just can't seem to equal.

I also just finished week three of my "lose a few pounds program" and even though I did not seem to lose much weight again I do feel stronger and a bit leaner and I will take any progress I can get ;)

Here are my latest progress photos.

Total Gym Shoulder Workout

Carrying on with some individual muscle workouts using the Total Gym, this week I show you some of my Shoulder exercises I regularly do. For me Shoulders are an area that I need to work a bit harder as I do not have naturally broad shoulders so you will see I spend a bit of extra time working this area.

In this YouTube Video I also talk about how things are going now that I have finished week two of my "Lose a Few Pounds" program and even though I stayed the course for the most part I leveled off a bit but I think my last week low was perhaps a bit low and So I expect to lose a couple more pounds this week :)

Here's How things are going so far...

Total Gym Arms Workout

Here is a quick YouTube video where I cover some of my favorite Total Gym Arm workouts, I show you a few exercises for biceps and triceps using the Total Gym.

We are are at the end of week one of my "lose a few pounds" program and so far so good, I have been really good about staying on my eating program. I really have not changed my diet too much, I'm just being more careful and making sure to eat a bit less and do my best to avoid some of the bad choices that taste so good ;) I even managed to lose about 3-4 pounds drooping from 184 to 180 pounds. It has actually been pretty easy so far.

I will be posting my photos weekly so you can see the gradual changes, not sure how long this will go on, I guess I will know when I get there...
