This lesson is part of the series: At Home Workouts - Upper Body, At Home Workouts - Full Body

Tone-up your lats and get that nice, trim waistline you've always wanted! This workout video demonstreates easy and effective ways to get the results you want. In this video, Derek shows his fitness models how to correctly do the lat pulldown exercise using the lat pulldown bar in your own home and with the medicine ball. This exercise is a complete upper body workout that can shape your lats as well as your abs. First, Derek demonstrates how to do the exercise with simple movements to follow along with his step-by-step instructions. Then, Derek adjusts and corrects his fitness models on their posture and technique. Slow movements, steady breathing and holding the position at the top of the rep are key elements to getting the bodybuilding or toning results you want.

Within the second half of the video lesson, Derek introduces a unique training method called touch training; during the exercise, touch the specific muscle group that you are working out. By touching that muscle group your mind focuses on squeezing it tighter and your body gets a better workout.

After watching this video you will know how to correctly do the exercise, maintain good form between each movement, understand the number of reps and sets to do as as beginner or advanced trainee, and gain the benefits of touch training.

You do not need a medicine ball to do this exercise nor do you have to leave the comfort of your own home. Derek recommends doing 2 to 3 sets of 15 repetitions if you are a beginner, or 3 to 4 sets of 15 repetitions if you are more advanced. Watch this workout video and learn the best practices to getting you the results you want!
