Rob's Terrific 20 
Day #15 Friday, February 26th

Workout focus CHEST
  • Push Ups 2x10 (2x4 with clap - be daring and try it if you are ready)
  • Flys 3x10
  • Rower x 12 minutes
  • *After each exercise there are two numbers.  The first is the sets and the second is the reps.  For example: "Push Ups 3x10" means do 3 sets of 10 push ups with a break between each set - 10 push ups, break, 10 more, etc.
Here are some descriptions and images to help you complete the exercise.
*Information is from workoutlabs.com

Push Up
  1. Get into position by placing your hands flat on the floor, directly below your shoulders.
  2. Extend your legs out behind you, with only your toes and balls of your feet touching the floor.
  3. Hold your body up and keep your back straight by tightening your abdominal muscles.
  4. Your neck and head should be bent slightly back.
  5. Lower your chest towards the ground by bending your elbows until your chest is just above the ground or you feel a stretching of your chest and shoulders. Hold for a count of one.
  6. Press upwards from your chest and shoulders, straightening your arms as you return to the starting position. Hold for a count of one.
  7. Repeat.
Flys
  1. Set up an incline bench at about 30 degrees.
  2. Lie on the bench and hold a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip.
  3. Make sure you keep your back flat and your shoulders pushed back
  4. Turn your hands in so that your palms are facing each other, holding the dumbbells over your chest with your elbows slightly bent and pointing outwards. (As if you are hugging someone)
  5. Lower the dumbbells out to the side of your shoulders, while keeping your elbows slightly bent in a smooth arcing motion.
  6. Continue lowering them until you feel a stretch in your chest and shoulders. Pause for a count of one.
  7. Bring the dumbbells back to the starting position in the same smooth arc with your elbows slightly bent until the dumbbells are nearly touching.
  8. Repeat
