In a dynamic workout session, Fitz Koehler introduces a simple yet effective routine that targets multiple muscle groups in one go: the Bridges and Chest Press. Using just a pair of dumbbells, Fitz demonstrates how to perform these exercises to strengthen your lower back, glutes, chest, triceps, and biceps, providing a full-body workout that can be done at home or in the gym.
The workout begins with the bridge exercise, which primarily targets the glutes and lower back. Fitz walks through the proper form, emphasizing the importance of keeping the core engaged and the hips lifted to avoid strain. She encourages viewers to focus on squeezing the glutes at the top of each movement, ensuring a maximum muscle engagement that leads to improved strength and stability in the lower body. Bridges are a fantastic way to build lower back strength, which is crucial for maintaining good posture and preventing injury.
Next, Fitz transitions into the chest press, a classic exercise that works the chest, triceps, and biceps. Lying on the floor or a bench, Fitz demonstrates how to properly execute the chest press by holding the dumbbells at chest height, pressing them upward, and slowly lowering them back down. She offers tips for maintaining control throughout the movement, preventing shoulder strain, and engaging the triceps and biceps for a balanced upper-body workout. This exercise is particularly effective for toning and strengthening the arms and chest.
Fitz’s clear instructions and motivational style make this workout accessible to all fitness levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes. She emphasizes proper form and mindful movements to maximize results and prevent injury. The Bridges and Chest Press routine is a quick yet powerful addition to any fitness plan, offering a full-body workout that can be easily incorporated into daily routines.
