Thursday’s Thoughts. Summer arm series # 3

Hey all. I hope you are well and getting out in this beautiful weather. Maybe not the last couple of days due to the fires. I would like to apologize for missing last week’s “Thoughts”. This week’s ,“Thoughts” is going back to the exercises for upper arms and shoulders. Summer series part 3: shoulders and arms and core.

Try these 4 in your next workout.

1. Halo : using a kettlebell, free weights or weighted ball. This will be performed standing. The Base of support is feet touching. Start by grabbing your weight with both hands, and rotate the weight in a “halo” position around your head. Making sure you don’t rub your head or graze it. Repetition: 15 rotation  to the right and reverse direction to the left . Repeat two sets.

2. Seated double arm bicep curls with dumbbells.  Perform while sitting. Place both dumbbells directly over your knees with your palms facing to the ceiling. Slightly lean forward from the hips with your chest up. Curl both arms up to your shoulders. And then back down to knees. Reps are 12/15 and repeat 2 sets.

3. Dips. Perform this while using a bench or a chair. No additional weights are needed. Place both hands on the bench with your palms flat. Both of your legs extended forward and straight. Bend both elbows to create a 30 degree angle and repeat motion 12/15 times. 

4. Crunches. Performed on a bench or the floor. Lie on your back with your legs bent and up with your ankles crossed. Both hands together behind your head. Movement is elbows toward your knees. 30 to 40 reps.
