Challenge of the Day! Isometric Bicep Exercise!


Good Morning!
Today's challenge will be isometric bicep exercise. 

This is the simplest type of isometric exercise, and it can be easily done at the office.

Put your hands under the desk and place them against the tabletop, with your palms up. Now, press against the tabletop, keeping your elbows tight against your ribs.
Hold your hands in this position for 10 seconds or count slowly until 10, and then repeat 2 to 3 times.

Breathe normally while performing isometric exercises.  Keep your abdominal muscles tight while performing each exercise, as it will help you to maintain a correct posture, while improving core strength.
During an isometric contraction, your muscles maintain a constant length as resistance is applied, and no joint position occurs.











Have a healthy and happy day!

We over look the importance of stretching a lot of times and today we would like to remind everyone the importance of stretching.  Attached is a simple routine to help you get ready for the day or your workout. 
 
You can stretch anytime of the day to help improve flexibility,  Not to mention it just feels good to get the blood flowing. 

Stretch as a warm-up before any type of workout or sport activity.  This will help to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury.

Challenge of the Day! Cycling Russian Twist!

Challenge of the Day!  Cycling Russian Twist

Let's do 3 sets of 25. A complete rep is left side then right side equals 1.  Try and do this with a minimal rest between sets.  The burn is a good burn!

  • Sitting on the floor, lift your legs so they're off the ground but parallel with the floor.
  • Holding your arms straight out in front of your chest with your palms together.
  • Lean back so your upper body is at a 45-degree angle to the floor.
  • Extend your left leg and twist to the right as you pull your right knee to your chest.
  • Don't let your legs touch the floor! This is the hard part of this challenge!
  • Rotate to the left, raising your left knee and straighten your right leg.

  • This is a great workout for the lower abs!  I love this workout and try to get them in everyday. 












    Have a healthy and happy day!
