Here we go:
#1 Shadowboxing
Grab light weights (he gave me 3lbs) and enjoy taking out your aggression on your imaginary opponent. Crossovers engage shoulders and triceps. Uppercuts work biceps. Instead of counting reps, start with 30 seconds of crossovers on both sides, then 30 seconds of uppercuts. Build up to one minute each. You’ll be sweating.
#2 Tricep Kickbacks
This is the area of the arm that often looks the flabbiest because, honestly, we use it the least. Everyone’s probably tried kickbacks at some point, but David’s version has you rotating your arm inward on the extension and twisting the weight parallel to the floor to really work the inner tricep pad.
#3 Bicep Curls
Another classic— with a twist. Instead of holding the weights out in front of you, angle your arms to the side as you raise them to shape the bicep’s outer edge.
#4 Tricep Pushups on the Stability Ball
I love exercises that multitask. This one forces you to engage your core like crazy, so you don’t roll off the ball.
#5 Pike Pushups on the Stability Ball
A killer, in a good way. Holding the pike position means you’re “pushing up” even more of your body weight and struggling even harder to balance (more core, more cardio). This one also brings shoulders back into the equation.
It only took about ten minutes, but I was certainly hurting after that routine. I’m going to try and keep it up, perhaps with a nice summery strapless dress as motivation.
~Good Luck!!!
