We all have a reason why we're doing what we're doing. We all have motivations and goals. Same goes for working out. We all have reasons for staying fit. 

You may want to stay fit because you want to remain active and strong as you age, so you can still carry your grandchildren and play with them. You might be motivated to stay fit because you also want to complete your daily tasks with ease, like carrying heavy objects or participating in your favorite sport. Your motivation is what drives you to achieve your goals in staying fit for life. 

In order for you to stay fit and healthy, you need to target specific muscle groups in your body in a way that your transformation will be structured as you go forward. Let's start with a few of the upper body strength exercises that will help support you through daily tasks.

Upper Body Exercises

Row Variations

This is a must-have on your upper body exercise list if you want to have a strong back, as well as strong shoulders and core. There are different row variations and we'll show you how to do some of them like the single arm row and the wide row int he first 30 seconds of this video. The basic row exercise is quite easy especially for beginners. 

Just grab the suspension straps with your palms facing each other. Tighten your core and squeeze your shoulder blades while rowing up, making sure your body is in a straight line. If you want to increase the level of difficulty, you can do the single arm row by rowing one arm at a time while maintaining proper form. 

Reverse Fly

This exercise targets your deltoids or your rear shoulders and the upper back muscles which can help improve balance and poor posture, as well as prevent back injuries and neck and shoulder pain. 

To do this, hold the suspension straps in each hand, with your palms facing each other. Keep your body in a straight line and open your arms out to the side, with only a slight bend in the elbows. Slowly pull yourself up, keeping your body in a straight line. Pause at the top and slowly return to starting position by lowing back down, bringing your hands together. Make sure to squeeze your shoulder blades together during this exercise. 

Chest Press

The chest press exercise helps build a stronger upper body and promotes stability. This also engages your core.

To do this, grab the suspension straps in each band and stand facing away from the anchor point. Lean forward, arms extended and make sure your body is in a straight line while keeping your core engaged. Bend your elbows as you lower yourself down until your chest is in line with the handles. Push yourself up slowly and return to starting position and repeat.

Tricep Extension

This upper body exercise mainly targets your triceps, as well as your shoulders and core. Like the chest press, this exercise also promotes stability and balance while suspended. It also builds a stronger core and is an excellent functional exercise.

Hold the suspension straps in each hand and stand facing away from the anchor. Position yourself and make sure the straps are taut while you preform the movement. Extend your arms overhead and bend your elbows 90-degrees. Lower your body and maintain a tight core, keeping your arms in a fixed position. Press yourself back up to starting position and repeat.
