Winter Fitness Group - Week 11: Pull-Up

Hope everyone is doing well - this week around we are going to hit some bodyweight exercises again with some old-fashion pull-ups!

The pull-up can be done almost anywhere and inside the Y we have a great pull-up/dip station that has an assist if you need to still build up the strength and power for the movement. 

The following is the schedule for this week to see me and learn about pull-ups:

Tuesday, April 13th: 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm (at the free weights office)

Thursday, April 15th: 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm (ask front desk to contact me)

Winter Fitness Group - Week 8: Bench Press/Chest Press

I've got some eager news to some of those people who were excited when I mentioned some new programming this time around with our challenge. 

It's time to get down to business! This week is dedicated to again another compound movement: the bench press or it's relative the chest press. The movement utilizes the shoulders, deltoids, pectorals, and triceps. If you want to not just get stronger with your push movements, but also get a bit more muscle on those arms and an overall better body workout...you can't afford to miss this.

This Weeks Goal: 

Utilize Chest Press/Bench Press Twice A Week

So this week, I am setting aside the following dates as open one-on-one practice

to get to know a few pull exercises that can benefit you, no matter the goal.

Here are the four days I will make available: 

Tuesday, March 31st: 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm (at the free weights office)

Thursday, April 2nd: 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm (ask front desk to contact me)

Friday, April 3rd: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm (at the free weights office)

Saturday, April 4th: 10:30 am - 11:30 am (at the free weights office)
