Back Again...

Begin this on your hands and knees with your shoulders down away from your ears, your core engaged and your spine in neutral. Balance your weight on your knees and one arm, engaging all the muscles of your balancing arm and pressing through your palm and all your fingers. Make a fist with your "working" arm and with a slightly bent arm, bring your fist to your rib cage. This is your starting position. With the muscles in your arm engaged, squeeze your shoulder blades together and lift your arm, still slightly bent, laterally, (to the side) to shoulder height. Return and repeat for 15 repetitions and switch arms. Do 3 sets of this exercise. You will feel it in your core, especially you obliques, your arms and shoulders!

Happy Friday!!
