Get Fit Over 40 - Human Trainer Suspension System Chest Workout

Todays YouTube Workout Video focuses on the Chest using the Human Trainer Body Weight Suspension System.

As promised I wanted to make some videos for my viewers where I show you how to use the Human Trainer Body Weight Suspension System. I was thinking about splitting them into two videos, an upper body and lower body video but then quickly realized that the videos would have to much content and I would be rushing thought them and getting really tired ;)

So anyways I am going to break the videos down into each separate body part, some will have only one or two exercises and some will have several for each body part but this way I can really focus in and show you how to use the Human Trainer Body Weight Suspension System.

Upper Body Workout Using Chairs

I know not everyone has workout gear at home and the truth is there are lots of items around your house that you can use to get a good workout, today I show you some exercises you can do using standard kitchen chairs.

I show you how you can do dips to get a great triceps and chest workout, I also show you how you can use chairs to get a deeper pushup and also an inclined pushup which will really work the chest area. I also demonstrate how you can use the weight of teh chairs for some shoulder exercises similar to using dumbbells.

I am at week seven now in my lose a few pounds program and I think I am starting to see some improvements again, I am down to right around 177 pounds but have definitely shed some pounds in the mid section, I can see more tone coming through now. The Jawbone UP and Fitbit scale have really helped me to stay on track with my exercises and food tracking.

Starting Point

Week 7

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.

Pushup Variations for an Awesome Chest Exercise

In my Upper Body Using Body Weight Post and YouTube Video I covered some Pushup variation but I though it would be a good idea to cover pushups all on their own since they are one of the best and easiest ways anyone can get a great chest exercise anytime without the need for any type of gym equipment other than a bit of floor space. If you're an extreme hoarder you may have to go outside ;)

In this video I show you different arm placements to get an all over chest workout with simple pushup techniques.
