Loving Your Arms!

This is a great one for your arms and shoulders. Stand with your feet hip distance and parallel, shoulders down and back and your core engaged. If you have a set of light dumbbells, hold one in each hand. Two soup cans also make effective weights, the action without weight is great as well.

With your palms facing forward and your arms by your sides, bend your elbow, engaging your bicep, into a curl. At the top of the curl, turn your palm to the front again and extend your arm into a shoulder press. Lower your arm to your hip. With the same arm, extend it up into a diagonal overhead. Lower back to your hip and again with the same arm, punch across your chest. Lower your arm to your side and repeat the entire series with the opposite arm.

This is a bicep curl to a shoulder press, lower to your hip, lift to an overhead diagonal, lower to your hip and punch across your chest. Switch arms.
Repeat this series of exercises for 3 sets of 10 repetitions on each arm. It is a fun one!
