To perform the Elbow Touch and Lift, no equipment is needed; you only require enough space to hold a plank position.
The primary and secondary muscle groups targeted by the Elbow Touch and Lift include:
- Primary Muscle: Shoulders
- Secondary Muscle: Core
If you're looking for alternatives to the Elbow Touch and Lift exercise that still target the same muscle groups, consider trying the Dumbbell Alternate Z Press and the Reverse Push-Ups with Elbow Lift.
-
The Dumbbell Alternate Z Press is a seated exercise that enhances shoulder stability and strength while also engaging the core. Unlike the Elbow Touch and Lift, which requires a plank position, this exercise allows you to focus on pressing weights overhead, promoting unilateral training that can help correct muscle imbalances.
-
The Reverse Push-Ups with Elbow Lift targets the triceps, shoulders, and upper back, providing a comprehensive workout for the upper body. This exercise incorporates a pushing motion similar to traditional push-ups but adds the challenge of lifting the elbow, which enhances shoulder stability and core engagement.
Both alternatives offer unique benefits and can diversify your workout routine while effectively targeting the same muscle groups. Try them out and see which one works best for you!
The Elbow Touch and Lift is a valuable exercise that strengthens your shoulders and core while improving coordination. Remember to focus on form and control to maximize benefits. Incorporate this exercise into your routine today!
