Good bye flabby arms!

Alright, no one likes a flabby arm. This workout is to target those flappers. It comes from (http://www.oprah.com/health/Andrea-Metcalfs-Resistance-Band-Exercises) If you do not have a resistance band you can use weights. If you do not have weights, go in to your cupboard and find heavy jugs or cans. If your cans are light, up your rep amount, until you feel the burn!

Perfect Posture


Andrea Metcalf demonstrates the posture perfect exercise.
Steps: Start with the band in front at shoulder height. (Or your weights directly in front of you at shoulder
                   height.)
         Squeeze your shoulder blades together and, arms straightened, pull wide.
         Hold for 2 to 3 seconds.
 Repeat 15-20 times. (again, up the rep if you have light weights)

Tricep Toners

Andrea Metcalf demonstrates the tricep toner exercise.

 Steps:Start with the resistance band overhead with your right hand and anchored with your left near your
                   hips and extend the top arm toward the ceiling
           If you are using weights, just take one and hold it over your head with both arms, and lower until you
                   get to your shoulder line and hold 2 seconds and bring back up.

Repeat 10-15 times and switch arms, and repeat.
