Avatar m tn A rowing machine provides aerobic workouts to the biceps, triceps, pectoralis muscles, and the upper back muscles. An upper body ergometer (arm bike) looks like an upside-down bike that is pedaled with your hands. In the pool, shallow water arm movements with leg stabilization can be done to stress the arms, chest and upper back. With assistance, a seated modified boxing workout can be completed with the aid of medical personnel. Basic cardio.
Avatar f tn According to “Combat the Fat” author Jeff Anderson, they target muscle in a unique way due to the effect of fighting gravity. Examples of these exercises include push-ups, pull-ups, dips and body-weight squats. Try a power pyramid using body weight exercises. For example, you start with a cycle of 1-2-3 or one push-up, two pull-ups and three body weight squats. Next, do 2-4-6, 3-6-9, 4-8-12, 3-6-9, 2-4-6 and finish back at the bottom of the pyramid with 1-2-3.
Avatar n tn I walk 5-6 days a week and do a yoga class once a week. Occasionally I'll add in some light weights for upper body but that's about all I can handle while I'm pregnant. I couldn't do anything for the first 4 months so I'm making up for now while I can :-) I think I might start swimming on weekends in the next month or so because my belly is getting huuuge and it's getting hotter here in Oz!
Avatar f tn Simple circuits with free weights ie. curls, overhead press, seated rows, tri kickbacks and push ups for upper body, and squats, step ups with kick, deadlift, calf raises, and lunges for lower body. Generally 3 sets of 15 for everything. Limited to 20lbs as directed by midwife, but it feels good to stay fit!
Avatar f tn If you work your upper body on Mondays then on Tuesdays do your lower body and Wed. upper and Thur. lower. You want to work each body part at least 3x per week. Start off easy and slowly increase the weights or reps.

Avatar m tn I have been training to get in shape to become a navy seal, that said ive been doing swimming, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, and running for a few months. Recently (last wednesday nov 10) while during my PST, i swam 500 yards then 10 minutes later was doing push ups and when i got to about 30 almost instantly i got a severe headache located just in the back of my head right where the stem goes into the skull. this then threw off the rest of my work out but i continued because it was a test.
Avatar m tn I know it burns calories and it works body muscles, but i am not seeking to lose weight, my weight is normal and good. I am doing all body muscles workouts at home (sometimes intense workout) including abdominal workouts. I want to start swimming for a while and i want to know what are the benefits of swimming, and what will my muscles and abs benefit from it.
Avatar f tn Some popular resistance training activities for men include pull-ups, push-ups, crunches, bench press, biceps curls, triceps extensions, squats and lunges. You can try modifications for push-ups by doing them from your knees or against a wall if you need to. If you are unsure of how to do a particular exercise, ask a trainer or google it. Doing resistance training workouts twice a week with eight to 12 reps of eight to 10 exercises. Before doing anything get the OK from your doctor!!
Avatar f tn Lower your chest to the floor and then push yourself up to the starting position while keeping your body straight at all times. Pushups work your chest and shoulders. Do the same exercise with your hands close together, below your upper chest, to target your triceps. Google this also if you need to see how it's done. In fact google all of them!! Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor to do single-leg glute bridges, which strengthen your back, hips, glutes and legs.
Avatar m tn My short distance sprint speed is excellent and my hill repeat workouts are better than the were preop. I can do more push-ups and isometric exercises to build upper body strength--I was worried that after cracking my sternum the muscles would atrophy so very quickly I did modified exercises. Should I be careful in extreme heat and cold weather? I feel reasonably good but don't want to push too hard and get in trouble.
Avatar m tn A push-up not only helps you to get a stronger upper body, but also a stronger midsection. It incorporates the stabilization muscles of your core, combining an upper-body pushing movement with a plank. It is, in fact, one of the best and most basic exercises for your midsection. Push-ups are a higher value plank.
Avatar m tn My leg muscles are fine, just my upper body that needs the work in terms of strength, lean muscle mass maintenance and build and toning. I am looking to buy some gear for exercising at home - affordable gear that doesn't use a lot of space. What would be the recommended gear for someone like myself? As a start I was thinking of getting a pull up bar and dumbell for working my arm and chest muscles. They are available in 1kg-5kg. What weight of dumbell should I get it?
Avatar m tn So I thought of giving up the exercises of upper body for some time and I resorted to cardio exercises. To compensate for the upper body workouts, I did heavy workouts on treadmill, bicycle etc and I sweated a lot ( normally, I sweat very less)! I also started adding some extra protein to my normal diet ( eggs, soya beans, cheese etc.) to recover the calorie loss...To my amazement, I started to experience bloating and pain in my abdomen after few days.
1292438 tn?1276120904 The myth: It’s the safest way to work your quadriceps, or thigh muscles. The truth: Physiologists at the Mayo Clinic determined that leg extensions place significantly more stress on your knees than squats. Why? Because the resistance is placed near your ankles, which leads to high amounts of torque being applied to your knee joint every time you lower the weight.
1285110 tn?1420147378 Do you know any good exsercises for the upper arms.....that I can do at home... Currently I am using 1.5kg dumbells and doing curls and lifts and I am doing standing push ups agains teh door/wall.
Avatar n tn take it at a pace that suits your body and push when you feel good and pull back when you feel under strain. Consider taking up Yoga as you get both fitness and increased energy. Consider an outdoors activity such as walking = particularly with poles as you also exercise your upper body I am very interested in this as I see so many people exercise - stress themselves - get an injury and give up.
461838 tn?1255790216 I keep trying to work through the pain, too, but it gets more difficult with time. I've really seen a noticeable decline in the past year. When I lived on the farm, I worked through the pain cuz I had to...hauling firewood, feed, what have you.... I thought I woosed out when I moved into town last year, but now I realize the the timing was right. I started walking to work, a 3 mile jaunt round trip...nothing too strenuous, but it's helped. At least from the waist down anyway.
Avatar f tn Hi, I woke up yesterday with pain in my upper right thigh and hip, buttocks. The pain got worse throughout the day, hard for me to walk when pressure is applied and I often had to limp. I iced the area and took IB profen all day. This morning the pain was even more sever when walking, shooting and dull pain when pressure was applied when walking. I also noticed that my right arch of my foot toward the inside of the foot is swollen, I have minor pain in that as well.
Avatar f tn Nothing hard core, just wanting to lift weights (arms only) plus core work outs and going on walks. So like sit ups and push ups. I'm not really active but don't want to gain or look just big and not pregnant. I'm a FTM.
Avatar f tn Mild workouts shouldn't hurt if you've been doing them and your body is used to it, might wanna ask your doctor just in case. Always eat healthy though, for baby and for yourself. Can also help maintain weight.
Avatar f tn You can carry on doing this and you could maybe do a bit of upper body workouts at home in the morning or night the same days as you jogging. Or you can do one day jogging one day upper body workouts. Then you could start the jillian michaels challenges and after them to shaun t insanity.
Avatar n tn For now, NO MORE PUSHUPS! Matter of fact, no upper body workouts period. Get some ice on the area for 20 minutes at a time and do that every hour or so if you can work it in. Once the swelling goes down, you can switch to heat therapy. Over-the-counter meds like ibuprofen or naproxen will help with the swelling and pain. I know it seems like the end of the world when you have to stay out of the gym for a while, but it's necessary right now.
Avatar f tn m a cross country runner, so i eat a lot more down and my workouts vary depending on the team). Anyways, since i lost all this weight, my body has changed and i'm much thinner but sadly i still have some untone muscle and skin on my stomach and little flubber on my upper upper inner thighs. Daily I run anywhere from 3-6 miles and i do three sets of crunches, "russian twists", planks, and lunges.
