Having fun w/ new exercises
|
One of my favorite things to doing while I am working out is say to myself, "now how can I make that more challenging?" today I was doing back. One of my exercises I got from trainer at my gym. She calls it a "seat" row, using a cable and a flat bar attachment, you add enough weight that can support you and you pull back and row, your legs are at a 90 degree angle, like ur seated but obviously ur not. Hence "seated".
Anyway I decided today, hey let’s get the core into this a bit more. So I grabbed a Bosu and flipped it over, now stand on the black side, balance and row. I loved it.( just like the picture, but no ball under you) I did grab a buddy to spot me at first, didn’t want to fly off and slam into the cable, I was very wobbly the first time and did jump off. But by try 4 I had it down pat and was able to increase the weight.
Now mind u, I would try the exercise w/o the Bosu b4 using the Bosu...get use to the sitting back with no support. So you can have an idea while on the floor I can row 100lbs on the Bosu I only was able to do 75lbs
