Get Fit Over 40 - Human Trainer Arms Workout

A couple more upper body Human Trainer Body Weight Suspension System workouts to go and then we will be moving on to some lower body routines. Today I show you some biceps and triceps exercises using the Human trainer. I was playing around with some alternative mounting locations and found that using a grounded location works well for my arms and shoulders but you can also hook into a higher position if need be, just angle your body a bit differently.

To get my lower mounting point I hooked into my smith machine rack using my Human Trainer Versatility Straps.

I am still struggling with my injuries but I am optimistic that I will recover, even if it is slower than I would like to, my Kanesiologist did make a radical adjustment to my ankle as apparently my shine was anchored too far forward and so I had very limited flexibility  which effects the knee and back. I am hoping this adjustment will really help with my knee pain and so far it does seem to be feeling better.

Arm Workout Using Dumbbells

Continuing along with my Upper Body Dumbbell Work Series, today I bring you my Dumbbell Arm workout video. Most of the exercises I show you I do in the seated position just to keep myself centered and on camera but you can also do them standing if you don't have a workout chair or even a regular chair that works for you.

A couple paris of Dumbbells are a great investment in your health and will last a lifetime, you can also start with a set that can be used for a variety of exercises and as you get stronger and get more divers in your workout routines, you can add to your dumbbell set over time.

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

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...
