Arm Exercises

Arm Exercises

Resistance training for the arms: (biceps(front of arm) and
triceps(back of arm) is going to be the most challenging to learn, yet is essential for long term success. That is where fitness lifeline.com will really open the door for you to succeed simply and inexpensively. Once on the site, you can take a look at some exercises and products to strengthen and tone the arms, front and back. The basic movement for bicep exercise is
to bend your arm at the elbow with resistance and for the floppy back of the arm (triceps) you will extend the arm at the elbow. You know, you can extend the arm up over head, out in front of you, down or back. Look at the pictures on fitness lifeline called “cables vs. machines” to get the idea.

The best and most complete approach to arm fitness is to buy the resistance cable package number one or two (70 or 130 pounds). These cables go down to one pound and up to their stated capacity. With this portable, inexpensive system you can do anything that a million dollars worth of gym equipment can do. Again, look at cables vs. machines pictures on the site. As previously stated, the Power Punch and Power Walk provide the opportunity to do cardio work along with arm toning. The Jungle Gym is a body weight training device that will do the trick right in your living room. Look at the C band for partner training and finally the weighted jump ropes for that great leg and arm toning while jumping away the pounds.

Well folks, this information should get you on your way to slim and toned arms. Read all of my blog posts for a complete understanding of fitness and stay connected to fitness lifeline.com for the tools and tricks to life long health, fitness and wellness.

Lose Arm Fat

Jumpin Jeff here once again to get you squared away in all aspects of fitness and health. Let’s deal with the question about getting rid of that floppy back of the arm fat that we can’t stand back there any more.

Many folks persist in the idea that it is possible to lose fat on one part of the body specifically. Regretfully, that has never been true. Within genetic influence, fat loss is “global”. You’re gonna lose it pretty much everywhere at once. Here is the tested way to lose fat. Use these 5 strategies: resistance training, cardio, nutrition, supplementation and the balancing of your life. By the way, these 5 points I just mentioned are what I teach every day. Learning these 5 competencies is the holistic and only way to permanently become fit, healthy and well. Keep in mind that as your body loses fat, you will have more energy, enthusiasm and self esteem. Fat will disappear from all regions of your body until your genetic makeup is revealed. Then we use target training to increase tone in certain areas to make you look symmetrical and very fit and trim. So fat loss is global. Let’s keep that in mind.

Now, to lose fat you are going to be depending on nutrition and cardio. Stay close with fitness lifeline.com and my other blogs which give you great opportunities to learn these skills. The Power Walk is a potent tool for losing fat while toning the arms. And for nutrition, look at my blog on proper eating called “Best diet is No Diet”. There is the simple and complete nutrition plan you can use and enjoy for life. Look at my ascending interval cardio as well so you remember to change speeds. And finally, to capsulize it all, read “Weight Loss Shortcuts” which gives it all to you in short form.

Get Abs

Hey its Jumpin' Jeff here again to help you with your abs. You've gotta work for 'em, but it takes a while! Luckily, the formula to get abs is the same as the general fitness formula: Lose fat, gain tone. It isn't all about doing ab exercises but you've got to do some abs so when the fat goes away, somthing is there!!

Abs are attained by mental intensity. You must exhale during each curl and come to a "locking stop" at the finish of each curl up. Keep the abs flat to your torso and tense hard, then open up. Regardless of the exercise, use the mental intensity tool. Look at the Lifeline Power Wheel and the cable abs options. In my training video there are ample ab options spaced perfectly within the cable workout. Here are some tips:

1. Keep your hands off your head if you want to avoid stretching out or damaging some neck muscles. Hands crossed on upper chest is very effective and safe.
2. Low reps and high intensity are much better than high reps and low intensity. Abs are a power muscle, not an aerobic muscle.
3. Exhale all your air and squeeze the abs forcefully to attain muscle recognition and intensity.
4. Keep abs tight and flat...don't let your abs poof out while doing the exercise.

These tips, along with the Lifeline Cables and some "ski walk" cardio should bring those abs out while the tone comes up and the body fat comes off!!

Joint and Muscle Pain

Jumpin' Jeff here again to talk to you about Joint and Muscle Pain. We are all susceptible to it, but how do we minimize it? Easy...by using Resistance Training Cables in your workouts. Resistance Training Cables are the fastest growing trend in fitness and exercise today, and for good reason.

To have a healthy body with adequate bone and muscle density, we have to do some resistance work. A program that minimally stresses the shoulders, elbows, knees etc. is the one to choose if you want to avoid joint and muscle pain, or any injury for that matter. These cables are ideal for joint protection because you can always start from a mild resistance and move into each exercise gradually. Oh, you can go up the cable sizes from one to 300 pounds of resistance, but the point is to stay in your “joint comfort” zone.

You can adjust your body position at any point during the exercise, which cannot be done with weights or other forms of exercise. After 16 years with this equipment, I have not had one injury. On the other hand, I have suffered a number of injuries with free weights, machines, and body weight exercises.

As for specific resistance training exercises, here are some that you can try. For cardio, the Powerwalk or Cardio Belt are great. For arm exercises, check into the TNT Resistance Training Cable Set. For legs, try out the Lateral Resistor or the Monster Walk. The opportunities are endless, and you can find a complete selection of resistance training equipment at Fitnesslifeline.com.

In conclusion, after checking with your doctor for a possible chronic or serious injury, you can do a few things to decrease or prevent joint pain:

1. Use proper form in all exercises.
2. Don’t flop the joints around during movements and don’t hyper-extend any joints, elbows, knees, or shoulders.
3. Use the Lifeline Cable Equipment to decrease loading on the joint in the beginning of each exercise.
4. Watch your nutrition and try some sulfur containing compounds like glucosamine or MSM. Or try a natural anti-inflammatory such as ginger or flax oil (consult your Doctor before taking any of the above supplements).
5. Don’t do anything that hurts or stings. If it stings an hour later or the next day, you have over done it. 6. Use cold to decrease swelling and heat to relax and increase range of motion.
7. Find alternative exercises and workout patterns. In other words, don’t quit...adapt.

Be aware and work around the injury. Be sure to consult your doctor, therapist, and trainer to keep on track. Usually, with the right effort, joint issues do and will improve.

Lifeline Power Chin Up

So many people forget about the chin up, yet it seems to be the most effective workout for your upper body. Think about it, you're using your own body weight as a tool to strengthen your shoulders, triceps, biceps, chest, and back muscles. While you're completing a pull up you're then forced to flex your abdominal muscles to stabilize your body for a smooth pull up. If you somehow incorporate pull ups into your workout routine, then you'll see results within a couple days.

I want to introduce the Lifeline Power Chin up. This is a low cost method to work your entire upper body. To use the Power Chin Up all you have to do is toss them over a door and begin your excercise, how easy is that? Best thing about the Power Chin Up is that they are portable and can be used on any door way. Bring your workout with you while you travel. Take a 15 min. break at work and build the muscle tone on your arms that you desire. Lose fat and have fun doing so.
