(Pull up) How to do it:
Find a bar that will support your weight and make sure that you have enough space for your hand to be equal distance apart. You can find these at you local gyms and you can even buy bars to go between your doors one brand is called the perfect pull up. Grip you bar with your grip slightly wider than shoulders, make sure that your hands are facing away from you. Relax and let your self hang while holding onto the bar. Next Pull yourself up until your chin is above the bar but do not let your chin rest on the bar because this can cause severe damage. Try not to let your body weight fall back, try to control yourself all the way when you are releasing back down from the pull up. This will protect your shoulders,

A pull up applies to three of the fitness components: power, speed and strength. A pull up makes you gain power because it increases your power in the forms of muscle strength. You get muscle strength in your biceps and your core muscles. Speed increases the difficulty of the pull ups although if you do the pull ups to fast and not properly you can strain your back and shoulder muscles. Pull ups can increase your strength because it is making you gain muscles in your core and in your biceps and triceps.
Muscles used
Pull-ups work many muscles in your body in your body but in the arm they work the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles in the arms. The brachialis and brachioradialis muscles are located near the ginglymus, and help move the forearm. The biceps brachii, go over the clavicle and the scapula (ginglymus) and they start to flex the medial epicondyle during your crossfit workout. Pull-ups use the teres major, which is a muscle at the back of the scapula Pull-ups use the trapezius muscle along the spine. All of these muscles work to depress the scapula, The abdominal muscles work to stabilize the thorax and abdomen by joining the sternum to the pelvis. The problem that pull ups can cause is that you can strain your brachialis and brachioradialis muscles and you can cause fracturing to your menum if you are to rest your menum (chin) on the bar while you doing the pull ups. You

It works on your core muscles and your biceps and triceps which is a part of gaining strength. The second part of fitness that plank work towards is endurance which is “the fact or power of enduring an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way”. Plank does this because it is very had to do plank for long periods of time without giving up and stopping.
Muscles used
The muscles that are used primarily used in plank are the transversus abdominis muscle which is a thin muscle layer on the anterior side of the abdominal wall. During plank you also use your gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles they are also known as abductors, the gluteus medius is the muscle that helps your hip to extend and making this muscle stronger will increase how much waits that you can lift. The gluteus minimus is also one of the secondary muscles that can help hip extension. Second your gluteus maximus (glutes), quadriceps (quads), and hamstrings are all worked during this exercise because you are constantly tensing and flexing.When doing the plank stabilizing muscles contracted and flex in your coat to keep you in the proper position, the muscles that help you stabilize include your hip flexors, quads which are located in your thighs, the pectoralis major and a group of muscles which cover your rib cage called serratus
One of the most important muscles in both a mink and a human are those of the arms and shoulders because of their involvement with movement. One of the primal movers of arm abduction along the frontal plane is the deltoid muscle found in both minks and humans. In both species, deltoid muscles allow for the abduction of the humerus. The next two muscles are the biceps brachii and its opposing muscle the triceps brachii. The biceps brachii consists of two heads, which arise from the scapula and join to form a single muscle that ends upon the upper forearm. The most important functions of the biceps brachii are the supination of the forearm and the flexing of the elbow. The triceps brachii on the other hand extends the forearm in both minks and humans and has three heads as opposed to two in its antagonist biceps brachii (Scott). The origin of the triceps brachii is also from the scapula like the biceps brachii. In a mink, the extensor digitorium originates on the lateral epicondyle of the humerus yet in humans it is present in the posterior forearm and is responsible for extending the phalanges, wrist, and elbow in both species. Anothier muscle with similar functions to the extensor digitorium is the flexor carpi ulnaris but instead it is soley responsible for flexin...
Your transverse abdominis, or TVA muscle, is the foundation of any movement your make. This deep lying muscle, which is located underneath your rectus abdominis, stabilizes your lower back and pelvis, and assists during the breathing process. Targeted exercises can strengthen your TVA and have a corset-like effect; the muscle develops inward, forming a frame around your stomach and tightly holds it in. This slims your waist, and also improve your posture, balance, and stability. (See References 1)
The focus of this paper is mechanically and automatically break down the deadlift. It focuses on the four phases of the deadlift (The lift off, pull through, the lockout, and the lowering phase) as well as the muscles involved in lifting and lowering the load. The sole purpose of the deadlift is for health and fitness. It is a core lift that works nearly every muscle in the body. Muscles from the lower and upper extremities will go through a period of flexion and extension when moving through the phases. The deadlift should be performed safely, and with proper form to avoid injury. This paper shows and demonstrates the proper form of the deadlift. There are also a number of forces acting on the load and the athlete. Gravity and external forces will be an active part of lifting the load. Images and tables are provided in the paper to better understand the movements and muscles used when performing the deadlift.
Due to the strong and growing evidence in scientific literature on the beneficial effects of physical activity on health and well-being, the importance of Clinical Exercise Science has increased. Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Exercise, is a subcategory of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful in the sense that the improvement or maintenance of one or more components of physical fitness is the objective (http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/pa/en/; last accessed on 30 April 2016). Generally speaking, Clinical Exercise Science is an applied clinical branch which deals with the application of various exercise modalities for

During a football playoff game, your is driving down the field to score, when the quarterback’s ankle gets stepped on by another player. The athlete, the player, the coach and the fans are all counting on the athletic trainer to get that player ready to go back into the game. The athletic trainer would need to help get the player back on the field if possible.This is why I would like to be an athletic trainer. Athletic trainers specialize in areas of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, assessment, and rehabilitation. With this degree my choices of employment can be numerous from working with a sports team to in the healthcare field.
Such inhibition of the antagonistic muscles is not necessarily required. In fact, co-contraction can occur. When you perform a sit-up, one would normally assume that the stomach muscles inhibit the contraction of the muscles in the lumbar, or lower, region of the back. In this particular instance however, the back muscles (spinal erectors) also contract. This is one reason why sit-ups are good for strengthening the back as well as the stomach.
I started CrossFit in 2014, after researching the rehabilitative effects of the sport. I was experiencing uncontrollable bouts of anxiety, night terrors and anger that was negatively impacting my Army career. I went to a nearby CrossFit box and I signed up on the spot. I immediately became addicted to the intensity of the WODs, the extreme high I got from lifting, and the constant encouragement from those around me. I truly felt my life changing for the better! At one point I tore my MCL at work and I remember how badly I couldn’t wait to get back into the box and do work! CrossFit had become my place of Zen, my home, my own crazy little community. Just over a year later, I got my CF-LV1. I want to do for the CrossFit community what it had
Obesity is a growing issue across the United States. A study in 2009 showed that 35% of Americans were obese (Ogden, Carroll, Kit, & Flegal, 2012). Those within 35% are not the ones only suffering the effects related to obesity. In 1998, the medical costs of obesity were approximately 78.5 billion dollars. That number had risen to 147 billion as of 2006, and half of the costs were paid by Medicare and Medicaid (Finkelstein, Trogdon, Cohen, & Dietz, 2013). Obesity is defined as a weight higher than a healthy weight for a certain height. Obesity is determined by body mass index, which is calculated using height and weight, which is directly tied to the amount of body fat. A total BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese (Center for Disease Control, 2012). Proper Crossfit training promotes overall health and fitness, and could be a solution to the growing issue of obesity.
The bridge exercises effectively works your glutes, while also engaging your legs and calves. During this exercise you're lying face up on the floor with your knees bent and your feet hip-width apart, flat on the floor. After engaging your abs, raise your hips, lifting your butt and lower back off the floor, until your body aligns from your knees to your shoulders. Really squeeze your buttocks at the top of the exercise for two seconds, and then slowly return to the starting point. Finish eight to 12 reps and two to three sets. (See References 4, p. 50)
I can remember the first day I stepped foot into the weight room at William Horlick high school, I was instantly addicted. I was a little intimidated because everyone on the powerlifting team had been there for multiple years and were bigger and stronger than I was, but that later went away when I realized we all shared the same goal and everyone helped each other achieve it. Powerlifting is good because it builds your self-discipline, confidence, social skills, and allows you to set goals for yourself.

Stand on ground with legs rooted to the ground. Now, lift your arms and roll the shoulders. Ensure hands in upward position. Now, stretch your hands and chest in an expanded position.
The basic advice offered by the personal trainer when you commence the pushup is to keep your body, particularly the back rigid throughout the time you do the pushups. This helps you to maintain the right posture for pushups. Secondly you are advised to push your hands through the floor instead of pushing your body up, to generate better power every time you repeat the exercise.
