    WORKOUT EXERCISE LIST

    3 rounds

    1 – INCLINE CHEST PRESS

    10 reps

    • Lean back and press your feet actively into the floor.
    • Find a symmetrical grip that lets your forearms stand almost parallel to the floor in the starting position.
    • Engage your core and press forward and up with as much as possible.
    • Make sure your back stays in contact with the cushion behind you.
    • Repeat.

    2 – LAT PULL-DOWN

    10 reps

    • Adjust the pad on your legs to reduce the movement.
    • Grasp the bar above your head with a wide grip. Keep looking forward with your torso upright.
    • Engage your shoulder blades, and then pull the bar down in front of you – upper chest level.
    • Squeeze your lats at the bottom of the move and avoid leaning back too much to facilitate the movement.
    • Slowly return up and repeat.

    3 – CURL TO SHOULDER PRESS

    10 reps

    • Grab two dumbbells with adequate weight for your fitness level.  
    • Standing up straight, have the dumbbells resting at your sides with the palms facing inwards. 
    • Slowly raise your forearms forward until your wrist rests above your elbow.
    • Now explosively lock out your arms and raise the dumbbells above your head.
    • Hold the position for a second and return to the starting point by reversing the motion.
    • Repeat.

    4 – DIPS

    10 reps

    • Grab the bars and boost yourself up. Engage the core, looking forward.
    • Bend your knees — it will help you with stabilisation.
    • Keeping your elbows at your side, lower your body. Your triceps should be parallel to the floor.
    • Bring yourself back up without locking your elbows.
    • Repeat.
