Tomorrow is April 1st – time to get our bodies ready for the beach! I’m inspired to use April as a time to slim down and tone up – get rid of jiggly arms… Any progress is good progress, after all! So, in conjunction with Pinterest, I pulled/reworked/improvised a number of bite-sized workouts that concentrate on different areas of our bodies. We worked through most of them this morning in the parking garage since the rain kept us in.
But I’m sharing all of them with you in case you want to do some more on your own!
With the beach music going, we warmed up and hit the below series. (Check out the Tricep Kickbacks with Flips – the pulsing started to burn so it must have worked!) Everybody helped with the counting, of course, and some used both light and heavy weights. (When doing these on my own, I plan to take a section and repeat 3 times.) And since we were in the garage, there were no chairs so we modified. There are more chair exercises on the attached sheet in case you’re interested.
Everyone was a good sport! And we worked up a sweat – summer’s coming!
