💪🏼💪🏼PUSH UP VARIATIONS💪🏼💪🏼

💪🏼💪🏼PUSH UP VARIATIONS💪🏼💪🏼

Push ups are a great exercise to build muscle around your chest, shoulder and triceps.

To do a push up, go down to the floor and get on your hands and toes. Place hands slightly wider than your shoulders.

Keeping your body straight, bend your arms to lower your body closer to the ground. Pause then use your arms to push yourself back up.

To make your chest muscles work harder, place your hands wider apart before performing the push up.

To target your triceps more, have your hands closer together when performing the push up. To get your triceps working even harder, place your hands together and form a diamond or triangle with your thumb and fingers.

Aim for 3 sets of 10 reps for each variation.

SQUATS!!

Check out this 5 video mini series to learn how to begin and safely progress your squats 🍑

1. The WALL SQUAT is an easy variation to begin your squatting journey. Simply stand with your hips and shoulders against a wall, your feet placed 2 ft from the wall. Slowly bend your knees and drop down into a squat. Look down and make sure your knees aren’t moving over your toes, your feet should be visible at all times.

2. A great variation to work on your muscle endurance is to HOLD this wall squat in position for 30 seconds before standing up straight.

3. Once these become easy, progress to an AIR SQUAT. Similar to the wall squat, when you bend down do not let your knees move forwards past your toes. Imagine wanting to sit down in a chair.

4. The next progression is a SPLIT SQUAT. This squat is performed on one leg, with the other foot placed behind you on a low bed or chair. Make sure you position the front foot far enough forwards so your knee doesn’t travel past your toes. Place a chair beside you to assist with balance if required.

5. As a final progression, try performing the SINGLE LEG SQUAT. Stand on one leg and bend your hip and knee to squat down. It’s the same movement as the air squat, but on one leg only. Focus on keeping your squatting knee pointing forwards, and not letting it collapse inwards.

Aim for 3 sets of 10 reps for exercises 1, 3, 4 and 5, and 1 set of 5 reps for exercise 2 🍑

☎️ call us on (03) 95623655 to book your initial appointment, or if you are interested in learning more about squats and other exercises you can perform at home.

💥💪🏼EASY AT HOME EXERCISES💪🏼💥

Bridging is a great exercise to target your glutes and hamstrings.

To perform a bridge, lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat and hip width apart.

Push through your heels to lift up your hips until your body and legs form a straight line.

As a progression, cross one leg on top of the other and repeat the same movement. To make this exercise even harder, put one leg straight so both of your thighs are at the same level before performing the bridge.

To place more emphasis on your glutes, place your foot further backwards before performing the bridge. To target the hamstrings more, place your foot further forwards.

If you want to make your glutes work even harder, place a resistance band around both knees while performing a bridge. To make sure your glutes are activating, keep your hips, knees and ankles in a straight line.
