Why Kneeling? 🤔💪
Ever wondered why we sometimes exercises are performed from a kneeling position instead of standing?
Well, there is actually a good reason for it. 😉
When you perform an exercise like this Triceps Extension from your knees, you take much of your lower body out of the movement. That means you have less opportunity to use your legs, hips or body momentum to help you move the weight.
Instead, you can focus on controlling the movement and keeping the emphasis where you want it — in this case, the triceps at the back of your arms. 💪
It’s a simple example of how changing your body position can change the way an exercise feels and which muscles have to work harder.
And that’s one of the things I love about strength training, small changes can make a big difference.
Great work, Sue! 👏🔥
