Monday was awful. I had the worst sugar crash. The gym was awful. The mental game was on full force... and I lost. Well comparatively... I mean I did run 4 walk 1, but it wasn't the 6 I was supposed to do. I was hungrier because of my massive food consumption, sluggish from the sugar, and depressed that I blew it so bad. So yes, I can have my days too :)
And now it's Tip Tuesday. We've talked about abs, we've talked about legs, now I figured I would address the arms. It is best to get some weights... if you're a beginner I would start with 3 - 5 lbs. Intermediate 8-10 lbs. Expert, well you probably don't need my help if you're an expert ;) If you don't have weights, try cans of soup! Here are two exercises you can do for your arms.
1. Bicep Curl. Stand with your arms at your sides. Turn your arms so that your palms are facing frontward. With the weights in your hands, bend your arms at the elbows and bring them 180 degrees. Then bring all the way back down to your sides. Repeat. (This can be done one arm at a time, or together)
2. Lateral Raise. Using those same weights, stand with your arms at your sides. Palms facing your legs. Keeping your arms straight, bring them up to form a T with your body. Then bring them back down. Both arms should be done simultaneously.
Of course, there's always push-ups. :)
