Tricep Crunch!

Begin seated with your knees bent and your feet planted on the floor, setting up to do a few sit-ups! Hold a weight in your hands in front of your chest with your elbows bent in to your sides. Lean your torso back to form a wide V with your torso and knees, think 10 and 2 on a clock. As you come back up to seated, keeping your elbows in to your sides, press your weight overhead. Bring the weight back to the front of your chest as your lean back again.

Some points to remember: do not allow your shoulders to creep up to your ears, keep your core engaged, do not allow your stomach “pop” and if you begin to feel pressure in your low back, you need to decrease the angle of your V.

Repeat the movement for a series of 15 – 20 repetitions! Feel free to do this without weight if you choose!
