Video 514 | Ignite Challenge Day 4 (30 mins) with Lauren Eirk
3 Day Fitness Plan
•
15-Feb-2024
Day four takes us back to upper training, allowing us to rest our lower body. The focus today is to challenge the chest muscles and its associated shoulder and triceps muscles. These perform many pushing movements with the arms and torso. This routine begins with some crucial isometrics to activate shoulder muscles using a Yoga Block for resistance. This will prepare you for dumbbell training!
We will be focused on variations of chest presses, push-ups, and chest flyes. Dumbbell exercises will include a variety of overhead shoulder flexion movements along with triceps exercises to improve elbow joint integrity. We will be using various body positions that require the shoulder to act in a stabilizing role.
Experience concentric and eccentric muscle contractions plus isometric holds against dumbbells with high repetitions to build muscle. This workout has specific segments associated with each muscle group. It is recommended that you have light and heavier dumbbells for various exercises.
