Upper Back Exercise Workouts With The MostFit™ Suspension Strap

 

Upper Back Exercise Workouts With The MostFit™ Suspension Strap

It's no secret that sitting wreaks havoc on our bodies - and it's definitely no secret that most of us spend the majority of our day sitting with horrible posture!  Hip and knee flexion, glenohumeral internal rotation, thoracic flexion, and scapular protraction.  Translated = that horrible position that you are sitting in now.  This exercise will get you out of the chair, and strengthen all those muscles on your backside that see way too little action.     

Specifically, the prime movers you use to bring you into scapular retraction, thoracic extension, and glenohumeral extension/external rotation are your middle trapezii, rhomboids, posterior deltoids, latissimus dorsi, infraspinati, teres minors and paraspinals.  

Perfect suspension exercise for all your desk-jockey back and shoulder pain woes!

The beautiful thing about training with the MostFit™ Suspension Strap is that every exercise will have you working your core and all your stabilizer muscles at the same time. This ramps up the nervous system, activating more muscle, which will make your workouts much more effective and efficient.

Super Plank Core Exercise Workout Using The MostFit™ Suspension Strap

 

Super Plank Core Workout Using MostFit™ Suspension Strap

Suspension Strap "Super-Plank" Exercise Workout 

Super plank core exercise workout using the MostFit™ Suspension Strap. The suspension plank a well-rounded, isometric, body-weight fitness exercise workout.  There are countless variations to get your heart-rate and body temperature up in twenty seconds flat.  The reason this exercise is so amazing is that your whole body (excluding your shoulder, elbow and wrist joint) is held in plumb-line, but with a dirty twist.  Gravity now has a long lever arm that makes all your muscles have to work in over-drive.   It's the equivalent to the work your shoulders do when holding a 5 gallon bottle of water out at arms length versus throwing it over your shoulder.

The primary "movers" in the plank are transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis,  internal and external obliques, psoas major, iliacus, serratus anterior, and all your small mid-cervical extensors.  

With the Most-Fit Suspension Straps, the plank variations are limitless, AND you can modify them for any and every fitness level.  These "super-planks" are for the intermediate athlete looking to add some instability to the regular floor front plank and can be done either on elbows or hands as in a "high plank" or "push-up position."

The Habit Cycle

Are there any new habits that you would like to develop? Maybe you have some bad habits that you would like to break? Good and bad habits are both made up of the same parts. Take a moment to analyze your habits using the following information and make some change for the better.

The Habit Cycle

The Habit Cycle | Breaking Old Habits & Building New Habits

Cue:

Every habit has a cue. It can be a place, time of day, time of month, emotion, a success, a failure, being in the company of a specific person or simply waking up in the morning. For example, a smokers craving for cigarettes can be activated by anything as simple as getting into their car or eating breakfast. Take note of the common cues that set off your bad habits. By recognizing the cues that activate your bad habits you can then begin the process of changing the action that follows.

Action:

Developing a new habit can require setting up new potential cues like leaving your gym bag and shoes by your front door and planning to meet a friend at the park for a morning walk. However, using old cues, but replacing the old action, is also a great way to make positive change. If you wake up with a craving for cigarettes, maybe going outside for a :20 minute walk will give you that mental boost that you're really craving. Now, instead of waking up, smoking, and feeling relieved, you will wake up, exercise and feel relieved as well as have a new feeling of accomplishment and ultimately a healthy body and mind.

Reward:

The third part of the habit loop is the reward. That's the feeling of relief you get from smoking or jogging, the strength you gain from exercise or the feeling of comfort you feel from cheating on a healthy diet by eating cake or cookies. In the initial stage of building a new habit you can either create a new cue or use an existing cue to set off an action. In the beginning of habit change that action will probably have to be a very conscious, deliberate action. Your most important job however is to recognize the reward. If you made the effort to change that action to a positive one then cherish ALL of the rewards. Realizing success in every part of positive habit change will help to keep you on track. Before you know it, you'll crave that morning walk and expect that feeling of relief.
