This bodyweight and dumbbell exercise sequence targets the biceps, forearms and triceps while also getting in some back, abs and core work. Who needs the sweaty, crowded gym scene – when you have a ’secret fitness weapon’ in your house??

Here are the 5 exercises shown in this Home Gym Workout Video for Arms (Biceps, Triceps, Forearms):

1 – Rotating Dumbbell Tricep Extensions on Swiss/Exercise Ball
2 – Reverse Close-Grip Pull-Ups (Asymmetrical Variance/AV)
3 – Dumbbell Tricep Extensions on the Swiss/Exercise Ball
4 – Right Angle Grip Pull-Ups (Asymmetrical Variance/AV)
5 – Hanging Knees Raises for Abs/Core (threw these in as a surprise for you)

If once through this sequence is too easy go through it again. But read below the video FIRST…

As always – Get your doctor’s permission/clearance before starting a new exercise program. Remember, it’s better to play it safe than it is to be sorry & hurt, right?

Home Workouts on The Atlas Home Gym System allow you to take total advantage of the muscle stimulating effects created by the synergistic combo of: Form, Tempo and Sequence in the workout programs. So your improvements are experienced in the shortest amount of time – with maximum safety and minimal risk of injury, as compared to the more ‘grueling and grinding’ methods of exercise and fitness.

An exercise program focused on bodyweight exercise principles guides the human body toward it’s potential in a natural way – as opposed to the grinding “wear and tear” methods of typical weight-lifting and isolation-type gym machines that are crammed into the typical fitness center.

Training for fitness this way is totally realistic and easily maintainable for the long haul – In other words ‘for life… forever’.

Resistance Band Exercises for Chest & Back Toning; Upper Body Band Exercises

This 4-exercise, chest and upper back workout circuit can be done as a stand alone mini-workout or as part of a larger upper body training session. If being used a stand alone workout – You can repeat the 4 exercise sequence more than once – depending on your level of fitness ability – and goals. Or you can combine it with the other free upper body exercises on this website – or in my complete, home and travel exercise programs for purchase (e-manuals, dvds, etc…)

The 4 chest and back exercises include:

1 – Resistance Band Row – from Hi to Low

2 – Resistance Band Flies – from Hi to Low

3 – Resistance Band Lat Push-downs

4 – Resistance Band Chest Press – from Hi to Low

One of the greatest benefits of learning how to exercise with resistance bands is you never have to miss a workout again – As you can bring bands to your office, on vacation or anywhere you have to travel to.

If going through this condensed, chest and back exercise circuit is too easy – try it a second and third time. You can also add 5 or 10 repetitions to each set for a longer exercise session and a more intense challenge.

As always – I remind you to get your doctor’s medical clearance for exercise before starting from scratch – or if you are unsure about your own physical ability. Better safe than sorry.

After you’ve tried the workout – please post your feedback and comments below – and then please do share this resistance band workout with anyone else you know who can benefit from this kind of helpful fitness information.

Your trainer for life – your trainer forever,
