Front Arm Swings

Warm Up

Seated Shoulder Press

- With a bench set to a slight incline - less than 45 degrees - lay back with dumbbells in your hand.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells to your chest.
- Press straight up toward the ceiling, with your feet digging into the floor and elbow 6" from your ribs. Bring the weights together at the top of the movement and lower back down allowing your elbows to come slightly past 90 degrees.

Incline Dumbbell Chest Press

- Lie down on a bench (can be incline or flat) with a dumbbell in each hand resting on top of your thighs. The palms of your hands will be facing each other.
- Then, using your thighs to help raise the dumbbells up, lift the dumbbells one at a time so that you can hold them in front of you at shoulder width.
- As you breathe in, come down slowly until the dumbbells are in on your middle chest. Tip: Make sure that - as opposed to a regular bench press - you keep the elbows close to the torso at all times in order to maximize triceps involvement. Be sure to maintain full control of the dumbbells at all times. This will be your starting position.
- Then, as you breathe out, use your chest to push the dumbbells up. Lock your arms at the top of the lift and squeeze your chest, hold for a second and then begin coming down slowly.

Narrow Chest Press

- Pick a couple of dumbbells and stand with a straight torso and the dumbbells by your side at arms length with the palms of the hand facing you. This will be your starting position.
- While maintaining the torso in a stationary position (no swinging), lift the dumbbells to your side with a slight bend on the elbow and the hands slightly tilted forward as if pouring water in a glass. Continue to go up until you arms are parallel to the floor. Hold one arm at shoulder height while you perform the reps on the other side. Exhale as you execute this movement and pause for a second at the top.
- Lower the dumbbells back down slowly to the starting position as you inhale.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Lateral Raise ISO Hold

Start in a plank position on the floor, with hands firmly on the floor, right under your shoulders. Press toes firmly into the floor too.
Keep core tight and back flat and engage your glutes and hamstrings. Your whole body should be neutral and in a straight line.
Lift hips up and back until your body forms an inverted V shape. Keep arms and legs as straight as possible.
Start to bend elbows, and then lower your entire upper body toward the floor.
Stay there for a moment, then slowly push back up until your arms are straight and you’re in the inverted V position. Make sure you maintain control throughout the movement.

Pike Push-ups

Remain upright, try your best not to lean forward or bend over on the arm railing for support. Set the pace to something that’s comfortable and feel free to change the speed higher & lower to challenge yourself!
