blog #32 theme: fitness upper body big 3!

In blog #13 i wrote about "the golden three" which are the most important lower body exercises. This blog addresses the most important upper body exercises which should be added into your routine.

The big three upper body exercises are :
pull ups
push ups
dips

These exercises can be made all level! I break down the levels.....

tricep dip:
tricep dips can be done either from a vertical position (level 2) or with the legs bend while hands supported on a platform in a seated position (level 1)

pull ups can be done either with support of a machine (level 1) or without as shown above (level 2.) Pull ups are hard but they are SOOO GOOD FOR YOU!
push ups: on your knees (level 1) or fully extended legs (level 2) but you must GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR OR IT DOESN'T COUNT AS A REPETITION!
