When Fitness is a Lifestyle

An exercise prescription should be as unique as you are.  Taking the information received from your fitness assessment, we will put you on a tailor made program for your abilities, needs, and goals.

This can be accomplished whether you already belong to a gym, or would prefer to workout in your own home.  You'll receive detailed instructions on your workout with pictures similar to those listed below.

Tricep Kickback

Preparation

Stand next to a table or bench. In optimal alignment, lean forward form the hips, using the arm closest to the bench for support. Allow the resisted arm to hang perpendicular to the floor.

Movement

From the start position, draw your belly button inward toward your spine. Maintaining optimal alignment, lift your arm so the humerus (upper arm) is parallel to the floor.

While maintaining upper arm position, slowly extend your elbow, hold and return (flex elbow).

After recommended repetitions are performed, switch sides and repeat directions.

Exercise Tips

Concentrate on keeping your upper arm stationary and parallel to the floor.

Maintain optimal alignment throughout the entire exercise.

A common mistake is letting the head hyperextend. It is critical to maintain cervical alignment. The head/neck should maintain position over the shoulders while looking straight DOWN (looking up from a bent-over position hyper-extends the neck).
