Here's the second playground exercise from the First for Women article I wrote... Time to get your arms tight & toned!
Tip 2 - Firming Your Upper Arms on the Monkey Bars – lifting your kids to reach those monkey bars engages your whole body (core, legs, back, chest, and arms) – make sure to engage your core, too (drawing your navel into your spine) to prevent injuries. To target and tone your back, grab the monkey bar with a neutral grip (palms facing each other), engage your core and then slowly lift your whole body up as far as you can go while squeezing your shoulder blades together. Slowly lower back down. For a beach-ready tummy, repeat the neutral grip and let your body hang from the monkey bar with knees bent and legs together. Slowly raise your knees to your chest without swinging your body, hold and then slowly lower knees back down. Work your way up to 10 repetitions for both exercises.
Tomorrow I'll share how to Slide to a flatter belly....Lets keep making our health happen! Mark MacDonald
