Cable Rope Exercises

written by Mike

One of my favorite machines at the gym is the Cable Rope, but something I often hear from my clients is that they only know how to do one exercise on it or have never even tried it. So here are two simple, yet very effective, Cable Rope exercises. Stay tuned for more on the Cable Rope!

The first is Cable Rope Overhead Tricep Extension. Make sure you keep
your elbows close to your head and your upper arms stationary – only the
forearms should move.
For the second, drop the cable to the floor for Cable Rope Hammer Curl.

Try 12-15 reps for each exercise.

Shoulder Circuit

written by Mike

We’re working on shoulders today! Here are 3 of my favorites that hit all parts of
your shoulder, so it’s great to combine them into one workout:

Reverse Fly – works the posterior deltoid muscle (back of shoulder)
Dumbbell Lateral Raise – targets the middle head of the deltoid (shoulder)
Dumbbell Front Raise – designed to hit the front of the shoulder

Try 10-12 reps of each exercise.

At-Home Fitness Hack

written by Mike

Use paper plates as “glider discs” when doing side and back lunges!

I love using glider discs for these because you’re not only working your muscles when you push out, but they add a pulling motion, also working out your inner thighs (side lunge) and hamstrings (back lunge).

For this exercise, keep your weight over your support leg, use your other foot to press the plate
backwards/sideways. Keep your core tight. Press back up through your support leg to return to your
starting position.

Perform 12-15 reps and then switch to the other side.
