How to Use Lifting Straps When Weight Training

2011-10-09T21:44:00.005-04:00

Lifting straps are helpful when using heavy weight for a large body part.

The weight being used may be too heavy for your smaller, auxiliary muscles and those muscles fail before the large muscle you are working!

For example, you may doing deadlifts for the hamstrings. You can use a heavy weight, but your forearms burn holding it before your hamstrings fatigue. Lifting straps would take the stress off your forearms by holding the weight and enable your hamstrings to finish the set. Another example might be doing dumbbell squats or stationary lunges. Again, you may be able to use heavy dumbbells, or may you just want to go high reps, but after 8 repetitions your forearms burn too much to continue. Lifting straps would allow you to do more reps (or weight) without burning out your arms.

In this video, I'll show you how to put lifting straps on the right way! If you ever need to use them, you'll know how!

Rotational Ab exercise for Golfers and Sculpt

2011-01-19T08:56:00.005-05:00

A great exercise for any sport! Do this with or without the ball for a core workout!
From the DVD workout Ab Sculpt & Yoga Stretch for Stability Fitness Ball

Sports & Ab training: The Turn!

2010-07-23T09:32:00.000-04:00

Sports specific exercises need to be done on each side of the body! This is especially true in golf! Do this exercise 2-3 times a week, moving slowly through the range of motion and for about 10-15 repetitions per side with a very light weight (or no weight) to improve your golf, baseball, tennis, volleyball or any other sport that requires the body to turn!

Remember, you must do the same amount in each side to gain the best benefits for sports performance and your body shape!

Lunges done right!

2010-07-18T21:23:00.000-04:00

Many people think lunges are bad for their knees or have other reasons to avoid them. In reality, if done correctly, lunges are a great exercise for metabolism boosting, shaping the lower body and burning a bunch of calories!

The main objective is to keep the heel of the working leg (ie-front leg) on the ground and to drive off from that heel. This ensures the knee stays in a safe spot and that you get the large muscles of the glutes (buttocks) to do the work! The abdominal stabilize the movement, making it a total body exercise!

Always check with your trainer or physician before adding an exercise to your program. If you are already using lunges as an exercise, check your form with this video!

Combo favorite #2: Lunges with bicep curls

2010-07-08T21:58:00.000-04:00

Reverse Flye

2010-02-17T09:13:00.005-05:00

The Reverse Flye is a great exercise for strengthening the upper back, shoulders and rhomboids. All muscles that become weak from too much office work! Expect to use a light weight to do these correctly! It's all about the squeeze of the shoulder blades and rear shoulder at the top of the movement. Keep it controlled at all times! This is also a "Must Do" exercise for many sports such as golf, tennis, baseball and any sport that uses the shoulders!

Good lunges for great glutes!

2010-01-07T13:14:00.002-05:00

How to do a lunge properly.
Many people lunge forward when doing a lunge, and that can bother the knees. It is important to bend both legs and to keep your weight on the front heel (working leg). Sometimes, it is better to think of bending the rear leg first, or as I tell my clients, stop drop and drive (thru the heel).

This sample clip shows how to do a proper stationary lunge with the resistance bands. It comes from the dvd Got More Bands? Resistance Bands for body sculpt #2 (available on Amazon.com) which is 3 band workouts in one. This clip does not include music, but the dvd has options to turn the music on or off, your choice! See the clip on youtube or at the Get Fit TV player.
