    Summer Bicep and Chest Workout

    I cannot believe our summer has come to end and I am posting the last workout for my Summer Workout series! This last month has not come without challenges. I have been so sick and was unable to workout for almost half of the month. Not being able to workout is hard on so many levels for me. It is so much of a mental game for me. I always feel better mentally and physically when I am active and working out. Especially coming off vacation and letting my diet slide, I was hoping as soon as I got home I would be able to get to workout not only go to the gym, but I would typically run and bike with the kids.

    My body was telling me otherwise, so I was barely scrapping by and resting literally every chance I could. Thankfully, even though we are in full swing school mode, I am able to get back to working out regularly and hope to be back in shape soon.

    Working out my arms and chest are probably my least favorite. I could do squats all day long, but working out my arms is always at the bottom of the list. Although, when I wear a tank top or sundress, I am wishing I worked out my biceps a little more!

    Summer Bicep and Chest Workout

    • 12 Bench press
    • 12 TRX Flys
    • 12 TRX Curls
    • 12 Dumbbell Hammer Curls
    • 12 Dumbbell Curls

    This weeks workout will be a series of reps. You can start at a certain number of reps to increase your endurance, toning, or strength. It is suggested to start with endurance and work your way up to strength.

    Endurance

    4 rounds between 12 to 15 reps with light weight 

    Toning

    4 rounds between 8 to 12 reps with moderate weight

    Strength

    Bench Press

    The bench press works your chest, biceps, and triceps. It is one of the staple exercises while trying to build muscle mass and strength in the chest. Tips while you are bench pressing are to keep your feet shoulder width apart and flat on the ground. Make sure you keep your back flat to the bench while pressing upward. The bar should not move in a vertical line, but more of a diagonal from your mid-chest upward.

    TRX Flys

    The TRX Flys targets your deltoids, upper back, rear shoulder, and even core. Make sure you stand facing the anchor point with your palms facing forward. Next, pull your arm back overhead into a Y position. The TRX straps should have tension the entire time, and the straps should be in a straight line throughout the movement. Slowly lower your body back to your starting point with straight arms. When your arms are fully extended, repeat the move.

    TRX Curls

    The TRX Curls work your biceps and even your core. Holding onto the handles of the TRX strap, position your body facing the anchor point. Slightly leaning back, walk yourself to the anchor point keeping your core engaged. Start with your elbows higher than your shoulders, with your palms facing you and at your forehead. Slowly lower yourself until your arms are straight. Then slowly curl your arms to the start position, with your palms facing your forehead.

    Dumbbell Hammer Curls

    The hammer curls works the two main muscles of the bicep. Stand with your torso upright and your shoulders back. Have a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing your torso. Keep your torso stationary, curl your arms while keeping your palms facing your torso, raising the weight all the way to your shoulders. Pause for a moment, and then slowly lower the weights to your starting position.

    Dumbbell Curls

    Stand with your torso upright and your shoulders back with a dumbbell in each hand at arm’s length. Keep your elbows close to your torso and rotate the palms of your hands until they are facing forward, away from your torso. This will be your starting position. Now, keeping the upper arms stationary, curl the weights raising them to your shoulders. Pause for a moment, and then slowly lower the weights to your starting position.

    Summer Cardio Workout

    by August 11, 2019

    This weeks workout is cardio. A cardio exercise simply means that you’re doing a rhythmic activity that raises your heart rate into your target heart rate zone, the zone where you’ll burn the most fat and calories. Whether you are wanting to burn calories to lose weight or workout to keep your heart healthy, these are just two benefits when you add cardio exercises to your workout.

    Summer Shoulder & Back Workout

    by July 26, 2019

    This week in our Summer Workout Series, we are concentrating on our back and shoulders. I fully believe in working out all muscle groups. This is one reason why I had Ray help me put together this Summer Workout Series. Strengthening your shoulders and back are so important as we age. I have always had horrible posture (always working on standing up straight) and one way I combat it is working out my shoulders and back. Your shoulders are used throughout the day while pushing and pulling items. Think of all the items you lift throughout the day. I think the shoulders and back always take a backseat to my workouts and it should be one of my most important workouts.

    Summer Ab Workout

    by July 12, 2019

    I am back this week with a new workout for the Summer Workout Series. This week Ray and I are concentrating on abs. Core has never been my strong suit so I typically avoid doing a lot of ab exercises on my own time. I would much rather workout my arms and legs. After having 2 cesarians, I have not regained strength in my core and due to struggling with core strength and aging (lower back pain), I am not a fan. But who doesn’t want abs??
