Log-bell lunges.
Method
1. Stand between the two log-bells and drop through to the squat
position.
2. Grab the handles of the log-bells and stand up straight.
3. The structure for this exercise is an upright position with the feet
close together.
4. One leg moves to the front in such a way that the lower leg makes an
angle of 90 degrees with the ground. Lower the rear leg until the knee
nearly touches the ground.
5. Get the front leg back so that the initial position is reached again, then
put the other leg forward and continue with the exercise.
6. The muscles that are trained by the lunge are the quadriceps,
hamstrings and glutes.
7. (Do 4 sets of 10 repetitions)
THE FRAME SAW EXERCISE.
For this exercise I have made the rack myself from thick
branches, this is where the tree-trunk sits. I use an old
frame saw for this exercise instead of a chainsaw. With
this exercise you mainly use your back and arm muscles,
but it is also a great cardio exercise!
METHOD
1. While you’re sawing; you keep your abs tight.
2. Your front leg is nearest to the trunk and is slightly
bent; with your back leg bracing yourself.
3. Keep your back straight and take the saw frame in
one hand, and with your other hand you will hold
the trunk.
4. Breathe in as you pull the saw towards you; exhale
when you push the saw forward until the arm is
stretched out again.
5. Do twenty saw movements each arm, until you’ve
sawn through the trunk. If you change your arm, after
twenty saw movements, then you must also change
the position of your legs.
