Inverted Row
Position a bar in a rack to about waist height. You can also use
a Smith Machine. Take a wider than shoulder width grip on the
bar and position yourself hanging underneath the bar. Your body
should be straight with your arms fully extended. This will be your
starting position.

Begin by flexing the elbow, pulling your chest towards the bar.
Retract your shoulder blades as you perform the movement.
Pause at the top of the motion, and return yourself to the start
position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Push-up
Lie on the floor face down and place your hands at shoulder width apart and
press up holding your torso up at arm’s length. Lower yourself downward until
your chest almost touches the floor. Press your upper body back up to the
starting position.
After a brief pause at the
top contracted position, you
can begin to lower yourself
downward again for as many
repetitions as needed.
In order to avoid risk of injury, please seek advice directly from your physician, especially if you have existing medical issues, before beginning any exercise
or nutritional program.
