The Milk Jug Triceps Kickback exercises the back of the upper arm -- the muscle known as the triceps brachii. This exercise is great for teaching proper body alignment and may also transfer to activities like a chest pass in basketball.

The Milk Jug Biceps Curl emphasizes the arm muscles. These muscles are used in every day activities like lifting and lowering your watering can as you water the flowers as well as hammering nails.

Turtle planks emphasize the core in a static position. This exercise helps to maintain a solid, upright posture and produce well-developed muscles in our abdominals and low back to help protect the spine.

Work those abs!

Leg raises are a great exercise to emphasize the glute (bum) muscles.

The abdominal muscles are extremely important for the health of your back, maintaining good posture and breathing. They are also very important for reaching forward at the trunk as well as bending your trunk to the side.
