| Exercise 5: The Chest Extensor | |
| | |
| I had to give this exercise up because it made my shoulders too tired when I carried heavier weights. I substituted the one called Cool Down #1. This exercise works your shoulders and arms out. It helps if you push your chest out as you touch your elbows behind your back. The short stroke of this exercise lends itself to doubling up the frequency with respect to the motion of walking, but you can do it slowly if you want. | |
| You'll need version 4 or later of the the free QuickTime plug-in to watch the movie in your browser. You can also download the movie to your hard drive and watch it with the free QuickTime Player. You can get the latest QuickTime plug-in and QuickTime Player for Mac or Windows at [http://www.apple.com/quicktime]. | |
| This streamable movie is available in two versions. The one labeled "56K" is formatted for downloaders using a dial-up connection. The other, labeled "T1," is a bit larger and more suitable for downloaders using a cable modem or other broadband Internet connection. | |
