Seven excellent Body Bar (weight bar) exercises
By Christina | February 17, 2009
This week I am working on gathering different exercises for use with different fitness tools. Today I focused on the Body Bar, which is a weighted bar used for all types of exercises. I listed seven exercises below which will incorporate most of the body for a total workout.
Chest Press – Laying on a bench, step or BOSU, place hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart and lower bar to 1 inch above the chest and press up
Triceps Extensions – Laying on a bench, step or BOSU, place hands directly at shoulder level on bar, hold arms straight up, bend the elbows back towards forehead and extend back to start
Single arm row – Hold bar in the center, bend knees, lightly lean forward, bring elbow up and back and return to start
Single arm press, hop and bend – One arm presses bar overhead, hop as you lift and then hold as you bend to the side slightly
Side loaded squat – hold bar over one shoulder and squat
Side loaded lunge – hold bar over one shoulder and lunge
Seated trunk rotation – sit on mat or BOSU and hold bar at shoulder level, slowly twist side to side
