There are thousands of different exercise books and self-help books.     Most of these are unwieldy and chock-full of stuff that is not helpful   to your general reader.  If people are looking for books giving them  advice to exercise, generally they are beginners.  My books were created to act as a workbook for people to follow. My books are different! The Benefits of The Smart Life Series “A Healthier Life at Your Pace” is your bare bones, no-nonsense book giving you only what you have to know.  There are many charts, tables, and images to guide and include the reader to make healthier decisions.  “Healthy for Life” provides a month-by-month framework for the reader to use to make slow, but lasting, lifestyle changes.  Each month includes goals, charts to fill out, and many opportunities to fit the plan to specific needs and purposes.  These books were designed with the average person in mind.  I feel that my books provide the reader with a unique process to help them make lasting healthy lifestyle changes. Reasons to buy these books! ·      These books are made for everyone to use. ·      These books are simple and easy to understand. ·      You get to customize your program. ·      Lots of free information through my various websites. ·      Many tips to help you become a healthier person. ·      Stick to the programs and get results! ·      New information always being added to the websites and through various emails/posts. ·      You can request to be added to a list of people that I send interesting health-related articles to. ·      Email me anytime, follow me on facebook, follow my blog. ·      Great for Physicians and trainers to give to their patients and clients!

Triceps with Suspension Bands

Just remember, the only joint that is moving is your elbow.  Your shoulder joint should not move through this motion.

Keep your legs/hips/back/neck all straight throughout the entire motion.

Pulley Rows with Suspension Bands

This is the first video in a hopefully long line of exercise videos.  It is my hope that these videos give you guidance in how to properly perform certain exercises.  I hope to include a variety of activities so that I can help a wide range of people.  At the very least, maybe these videos will give you some new ideas to incorporate into your existing programs.

This video is showing you how to properly perform pulley rows using suspension bands.  I have included a couple simple variations to help change it up.

Remember to keep your back/neck straight at all times, keep your feet planted, and start more perpendicular to the ground and move to a more parallel position as these get easier and easier.

As always, please send me any suggestions or questions you may have.  My work email associated with the Smart Life Series is:     SmartLifeSeries@gmail.com

Triceps with Suspension Bands

Remember to keep the rest of your body as straight as possible.  The only joint moving is your elbows.

Suspension Band Rows

This is the most difficult position to perform this exercise in with these suspension bands.  To make it easier, secure the bands over a door and start more perpendicular to the ground vs parallel (shown in picture above).
