1. Bench Press with Resistance Bands
The bench press exercise is a great way to tone up your upper body. This exercise is very effective because it works out three of your muscle groups: Chest, triceps, and shoulders.
In order to effectively feel the exercise, you need to do the following:
Make sure your body is straight
Start off with your arms making a 45 degree angle and they are placed to the side of your body.
Extend your arms out and make them as straight as you can
Bring your arms back to the side of your body
Repeat
2. Overhead Tricep Extensions
Overhead tricep extensions are a great way to work out your triceps. Did you know that triceps are the muscles that make your arms stand out (it’s not biceps)? That is because there is more tricep muscles in your arms rather than your biceps.
In order to practice this exercise, you need to do the following.
Make sure your body is upright and straight
Start by holding the resistance band and make your arm form a 90 degree angle.
Extend your arm til it is straight
Lower your arm until it makes a 90 degree angle.
Repeat
3. Bicep Curls
The bicep curl exercise is a great exercise when it comes to building up your arm muscles.
To do bicep curls, you need to do the following:
Start standing with a oar in each hand. Your elbows should rest at your sides and your forearms should extend out in front of your body. Your knees should stay slightly bent and your belly button should draw into the spine.
Bring the oars all the way up to your shoulders by bending your elbows. Once at the top, hold for a second by squeezing the muscle
Reverse the curl slowly and repeat.
