A New Year dawned, and in the quest for a new you, you might have joined a gym or signed yourself up for a body overhaul.
Whether you want to up your at-home fitness, or get to know how you can use the gym machines for body conditioning, we plan to bring you a small step towards a fitter, leaner and happier you.
To start off our weekly workouts, we’re going to work on posture, toning your legs and strengthening your core – which means you’ll have a great base for next week’s workout…
This Week…. Go For A Dip
No, we don’t mean you need to run the bath. A bicep dip focuses on your triceps, which can sometimes be saggy on the back of your arms. Dips use the weight of your body as resistance to firm and tone your ams.
Using the corner of the couch or a chair, place your hands either side of your hips behind your back at shoulder width apart. Slowly lower and higher yourself in repetitions of 10.
Aim to do three sets of ten to build up the muscle and prevent sagging.
To increase your training intensity, stand out farther from the couch with each set of repetitions before lowering yourself and raising your body again.
