A gyroscopic wrist exerciser. Video showing the use - from starting the rotation with a 'shoestring' over various movements with the holding hand until stopping the rotor with the second hand. The demonstrated speeds are, in part, very high and not recommended for normal exercise due to the resulting high forces.
In both versions, the exerciser fold the arms in front or place the hands on the back of the head with the elbows pointing to the sides, while performing the exercise. [2] A 45 degree back extension bench (note the different type of leg support from the Roman chair) Using a reverse back extension machine (reverse hyperextension machine)
The rear delt raise, also known as the rear deltoid raise, or rear shoulder raise is an exercise in weight training. This exercise is an isolation exercise that heavily works the posterior deltoid muscle. The movement is primarily limited to the two shoulder joints: the glenohumeral joint and the scapulothoracic joint.
Leg curl machine. The leg curl is performed while lying face down on a bench, by raising a weight with the feet towards the buttocks. This is an isolation exercise for the hamstrings. [5] Equipment Dumbbell, cable machine or leg curl machine. Major variants Seated (using a leg curl machine variant); standing (one leg at a time).
The wrist curl is a weight training exercise for developing the wrist flexor muscles, the muscles in the front of the forearm. [1] It is therefore an isolation exercise. Ideally, it should be done in combination with the "reverse wrist curl" (also called wrist extension) which works out the muscles comprising the back of the forearms, [1] to ensure equal development of the wrist flexor and ...
The leg raise is a strength training exercise which targets the iliopsoas (the anterior hip flexors).Because the abdominal muscles are used isometrically to stabilize the body during the motion, leg raises are also often used to strengthen the rectus abdominis muscle and the internal and external oblique muscles.
The face pull is a weight training exercise that primarily targets the musculature of the upper back and shoulders, namely the posterior deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, Latissimus dorsi as well as the biceps. [1] The face pull is considered an important exercise for shoulder health and stability. [2]
The leg extension machine was created by American fitness guru Jack LaLanne in the 1950s. [19] The first prototype is recognized to have been made under Gustav Zander, but labeled the machine as a form of “mechanotherapy” along with other machines that extended the knee and ankle. [19] The machine was made to target the quadriceps.
