Hi and welcome to the Weekend Warrior Workout again. My name is Tim Goodwin. I’m just going to show you something just a little bit different from what you might expect from a personal trainer. Burn much again today and I’m going to show you a couple of machines that I’ve used and not used in the workouts that I prescribed to people.
Now, I’m going to show you a little more of the environment is classic isolation style machine. It isolates one muscle. It’s a fantastic machine. It’s just a big chunk of steel of metal and weights. I don’t what it does but it works just that one muscle, the bicep. They must have spent thousands on this machine, absolutely thousands. And also, it just works on one little muscle just in front of your eyes.
I should say that we got all the dumbbells in here which are frankly a lot cheaper. I’m going to show you a better exercise which is a little bit more interesting for you.
Give me a second I’ll just set this up.
Now this machine here is called the smith machine and what I’m going to demonstrate to you is an exercise called the modified pull up. What you’re going to do is lie on your back, you got to hold to the back. And what you’ll do is you lift yourself up. So your chin and the bar is between your chin chest. As you lift, you squeeze your shoulder and legs together keeping your body nice and flat.
What we’re actually using here is your biceps. We’re also working your delts. We’re actually using each of these muscles. We’re also using the rhomboids, a whole lot more muscles that you would do than the isolation machine that we’re just looking at just then. So, if you want to get a great workout, try and do exercises like this which actually uses a lot of muscle mass other than just isolating the individual muscles.
That’s it for today for Weekend Warrior Workouts. More again tomorrow.
