Exercise Seven: Variable Monkey Bars
Most of us played on the monkey bars when we were kids. We know how to do
this exercise, but you might not be able to do it as an adult...not yet, anyway.
Monkey Swing
Step up on the platform, reach overhead and grasp the first bar. From there,
swing forward, releasing one hand and using that hand to reach the next bar,
grasping onto it and then releasing the back hand. Use the back hand to reach
the next bar, passing the one you're currently gripping and so on, just like a
monkey would. Once you get to the other side, turn and repeat.
Exercise Eight: Variable Row Station
Row
There are variable grip positions and different heights to choose from at this
station - the higher you go, the less resistance. Choose the lower bars for a more
challenging workout. Choose your bar height and grip. Face away from the unit.
Position your feet in front of you, legs straight, heels on the ground, and with a
tight core. Pull your body up until your chest is parallel to the bars. Hold and
lower back down. Repeat this rowing motion 15 times.
