Blast Your Biceps While Toning Your Glutes

Blast your biceps while toning your glutes with single leg bent-over dumbbell curls! This is an intermediate exercise and should be performed on a stable surface prior to using StrongBoard Balance board.

1. With a dumbbell in each hand, place your right foot across the center of the platform with your left leg behind you.

2. Hinging from the hips with your abs braced, bend over to a 30-45 degree angle.

3. Bring your left leg straight out so that it is in line with your torso with foot in dorsiflexion.

4. Keeping your bicep perpendicular to the floor at all times, open palms and curl your left arm up towards your face.

5. Slowly bring your left arm back to starting position then curl your right arm in the same fashion.

6. Repeat for desired amount of repetitions.

7. Switch legs and repeat steps 1-6.

8. Repeat for desired amount of sets.

Tips: Once in position, keep entire body as stabilized as you can allowing only the arms to move. Be sure to keep a slight bend in the posted leg and head in line with the spine. For more of a challenge you can single leg squat while performing curls. You can also curl both dumbbells simultaneously rather than alternating. When you perform the leaning biceps curl, you change the point of maximal loading on the biceps from their mid-range to a point of maximal loading, allowing a full-contracted shortened range.

StrongBoard Balance utilizes MULTI SPRING TECHNOLOGY™ that works with your body to deliver the perfect amount of stimulation to keep your core musculature and stabilizing muscles engaged and contracted, while training your central nervous system, improving posture, proprioception and reaction time.

Top 5 StrongBoard Booty Building Exercises

StrongBoard Balance Board Booty Building Exercises

Lets talk the butt, booty, behind, rear end. There are so many different names for the one body part everyone wants to work on.

The gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus, as well as your hamstrings, are by far the largest and strongest of muscles in your body. They work together to extend, rotate and abduct the hip and contribute to the stabilization of your pelvis.

Sure, everyone wants their butt to look good, but strong hamstrings and glutes can also improve posture, alleviate lower back pain, improve athletic performance, and eliminate stubborn abdominal fat.

Add these benefits to the benefits of training with StrongBoard and we have a win win situation.

Build your glutes and tone your legs with these top 5 StrongBoard exercises:

  1. StrongBoard Squat: Make sure to keep your chest up, and your abdominals engaged, to keep your spine properly aligned. When coming into a full squat, your knees should not extend beyond your toes.
  2. StrongBoard Bridges: Make sure to keep your shoulders on the floor to protect your neck. Be sure to squeeze butt at the top.
  3. StrongBoard Leg Raises: Place a resistance band around your ankles for a little more of a challenge.
  4. Single Leg Half Circles on StrongBoard: This exercise is a great, fast way to tone both your legs and your butt, while still engaging your core and finding that center of gravity.
  5. StrongBoard Lunges: Inhale on the way down and exhale as you push up. Be careful not to extend your front knee beyond your toes while doing this exercise.

Bikinis and Board Shorts: Get Your Summer Abs Ready

StrongBoard Balance Board Abs Partner Workout
Summer is a little over a month away, so if you haven’t already, now is a good time to start working on your abs. Before we get into exercises you can do to strengthen abs, it’s important to know diet trumps exercise when trying to get a six pack. While working out and strengthening ab muscles will make them larger, if you eat poorly and accumulate belly fat than it won’t matter how many ab exercises you do.

For those out there who eat whatever they want, don’t exercise, and still have a six pack, you have won the genetic lottery and don’t need to continue reading this blog.

One of the great things about StrongBoard Balance is it forces your core muscles to contract in every position. Having to balance on a surface that never stabilizes engages all those abdominals – you tone, and tighten while burning calories.

A great way to directly work on your core is through the full plank. Check out the video here:

Another great way to engage your core is the reverse plank:

Finally, we have an ab workout you can do with a partner (or by yourself):
