The Lawnmower

Target Muscles: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, and Abs

How To:

• Position yourself in a side lunge…right leg out in front with right elbow resting on right knee
• Position your left hand down by your right foot close to the floor, palms facing in toward your foot
• Pull the weight from the floor to your waist using your upper back muscle (like when your start a lawn mower
• Your elbow will bend and be pointed up toward the sky
• Slowly and with control lower the weight back toward the floor
• Repeat for the instructed amount of reps and switch arms

Using a band…step on band with front foot (play with it until you find the right resistance), perform same movement as described above

Important: Make sure your really focus on using your lat muscles (upper back) to pull the weight up toward your waist. Also, don’t let momentum take over…nice slow controlled movements
