The Holidays are never an excuse to throw your health and fitness morals out the window.  But, you should not feel guilt after indulging in a couple of cookies.

In this episode of Made Fit TV I give you some quick advice on how to stay on the “nice” list while being a little “naughty” with your diet this season!

If you are an avid weight trainer like I am, you are bound to experience this at least once in your life. I’m talking about shoulder pain!

Now, when I say “shoulder pain,” it can range from being dull and achy to a full blown stabbing feeling. Obviously, any pain you feel, you must get it checked out by a professional.

But if you are concerned that that dull pain you are feeling may just be from overuse, keep your shoulder joints strong to help prevent injuries from occurring with the movements in my videos above!

The back is one of the most under-trained muscle groups (in my opinion, of course) and one of the most common areas that give most people issues!  C’mon!  How many times have you heard someone complain about their back? Many!

From sitting at a computer all day to lugging around heavy packages, it doesn’t matter how physically-taxing your job is… you need to strengthen your back!  A strong back delivers better posture, better mobility, and injury prevention

In this week’s episode of Made Fit TV I show you how to isolate many areas of the back in many ranges of motion.

Check out the guide below for a quick reference!

Chest Workout

Dumbbell Back Row

• Stagger your feet and lunge forward on the opposite arm you hold the dumbbell, bend forward so your torso is parallel to the floor, pull arm straight back keeping elbow close to your body

Seated Lateral Pull Down

• Sit facing machine, grip bar overhand near the ends of the bar, while maintaining a straight back and chin up, pull the bar straight down to chest level

Wide Arm Dumbbell Back Row

• Stand on sit, bend at the waist with torso parallel to the floor, hold dumbbells straight down with palms facing toward you, pull dumbbells back with elbows out without bending the forearms

Seated Narrow Pull Down

• Sit facing machine, grip handles with palms facing in, with chest up and back straight pull handles down to chest level

Whether you enjoy training total body a few days a week, single one muscle group per day, or just need a refresher on the basics, it’s always good to know how to isolate each muscle group correctly.

In this episode of Made Fit TV, I show you how to isolate one particular muscle group that takes up a large area - the chest. Having a good balance of compound movements and isolation is the best way to get overall strength and conditioning!
