Free Fitness Workout Plan: Lose Weight Week 5

Video Transcript

"Hey, I'm Ashleigh Gass, Strength and Conditioning Specialist with brilliantathlete.com. How to lose weight week 5. As I've said in every other week, don't worry about weight loss. Focus on improving your strength and really learning how to improve your nutrition in a way that results in body fat loss and in improving in overall health. In order to understand that, just go to brilliantathlete.com, look under products and you'll see something called precision nutrition and gourmet nutrition; both are great resources that I use myself. So in this week, you might go more to an upper body exercise and I'm going to show you a shoulder and arm exercise that you can use. You can really use any form of, of load for this or just your, the weight of your arms depending on, on your levels to start. These are just water bottles; they're empty. If I put water in them obviously they'd become heavier, but this one's called standing four way; you can get this in other exercises like at from a DVD called The Buchberger-12 which is available at rotatorcuff.net. Standing four way, position one is just straight out in front; position two, out to the side by about thirty degrees; position three, arms all the way out to the side and then position four is like that shoulder blades squeeze we did before where I'm bringing my shoulder blades in and I'm squeezing them together. Then I would go back down and I would go throw every rep again. So that's just an example of a very complete upper body type exercise. When you combine that with great nutritional habits, you'll find that week after week, you'll make awesome improvements in your overall health. Thanks. I'm Ashleigh Gass with brilliantathlete.com."
