The Workout
Perform 3 sets of 10–12 reps for each exercise, resting 60 seconds between sets. Adjust weights and resistance levels on the Universal Trainer to challenge your muscles while maintaining proper form.
1. Bench Press
Target Muscles: Chest, shoulders, triceps
The bench press is a staple for building upper body strength. Using the Universal Trainer, adjust the cables to shoulder height and position a bench underneath. Press the handles upward and away, focusing on controlled movements to fully engage your chest and triceps.
Tip: Keep your core tight and avoid over-arching your back for maximum efficiency and safety.
2. Cable Flys
Target Muscles: Chest, shoulders
Set the cables to a higher position. Step forward slightly and pull the handles together in front of your chest in a wide arc. Slowly return to the starting position, feeling a stretch in your pecs.
Tip: For optimal results, keep your elbows slightly bent and move through a controlled range of motion.
3. Lat Pulldown
Target Muscles: Back, biceps
Attach the lat pulldown bar and adjust the cable height above your head. Sit down, grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width, and pull it down to your chest. Slowly release back to the start position to maintain constant tension.
Tip: Focus on engaging your lats by imagining pulling your elbows into your back pockets.
4. Pull-Ups
Target Muscles: Back, shoulders, arms
The Universal Trainer’s pull-up bar provides a sturdy setup for this classic exercise. Grip the bar, engage your core, and pull your chin above the bar. Lower yourself slowly to build strength and control.
Tip: If pull-ups are challenging, use an assist band or set up the cables for assisted pull-ups to gradually build your strength.
5. Squats
Target Muscles: Quads, glutes, hamstrings
Position the cables low and attach them to a bar or handles. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding the cables at shoulder height. Lower your hips into a squat, ensuring your knees don’t extend past your toes, then push through your heels to stand.
Tip: Keep your chest lifted and back straight to effectively target your glutes and quads.
6. Cable Hip Abduction
Target Muscles: Glutes, hip abductors
Attach an ankle strap to one cable and secure it around your ankle. Stand perpendicular to the machine and lift your leg outward against the resistance. Slowly return to the starting position. Repeat on the other leg.
Tip: Use a light weight to maintain control and prevent swaying.
7. Cable Bicep Curls
Target Muscles: Biceps
Attach handles to the cables and set them to a lower height. Grip the handles with palms facing up, and curl the cables towards your shoulders. Slowly lower back to the start position for maximum bicep activation.
Tip: Keep your elbows tucked into your sides to isolate the biceps.
Cool-Down and Stretch
After completing the workout, spend 5–10 minutes stretching to enhance flexibility and prevent soreness. Focus on the chest, back, and lower body muscles you worked hard during the session.
