Upper Body Day :) I felt the need today to really work my upper body and I wanted to use weights So here is something you can do that will really work those and also get some core involved **Do each move for 1 minute with 20 sec rest *** 1. Bent over rows. Keep your knees bent, core engaged and back straight. Do not hunch over. Press your arms back and squeeze those shoulder blades together then release Challenge yourself with trying to go with a heavier weight 2. Cross over punches. Use a lighter weight for this and keep your knees bent almost as if in squatting position and have weight places in back of heels. Cross over and look in the direction of your punch. Make sure you do not lock your arm, keep elbow slightly bent. Then cross over to the other side. Make sure you keep your core engaged. It will also work those obliques 3. Push-ups. Do as many as you can in correct form in plank but if needed, do them on your knees. Just make sure your head and back are aligned and you are not sinking in or raising your hips and you guessed if: keep your core engaged 4. Low plank. Rest on your forearms and hold as long as you can without raising or sinking your hips and core engaged . If needed, do these on your knees Even with modifications, make sure you give it percent. You can use lighter weights if needed or you could also use resistance bands ***Be sure to LIKE this post, SHARE it, or even TAG friends and family that would love to see this.
