Move Anywhere

Let’s start with the biceps.  Grab a 15 ounce can for each hand and do some curls.

 Or, try using a resistance band. While seated and with your feet hip-width apart, place the resistance band under your feet and hold a handle in each hand, palms facing up. Curl the band up to shoulder height, then lower.

Next, let’s work on our triceps. Keep the cans for the tricep curl.  Move to the countertop for the tricep dips

 Or, try using a resistance band.  Place your hand behind you at the small of your back while holding on to the band.  With the opposite hand, reach behind you and pull the other end of the band up behind your neck.  Pull up on the band until your arm is fully extended.  Return your arm to the back of your neck.

Now we’ll move to the chest. Try out the standing chest press and the standing push up. When the push up gets too easy, try them one handed!

Use a resistance band to strengthen and stretch your back. Place your hands on the band so they are shoulder width apart. Wrap the extra band material around your hands. Extend your arms to the sides, pulling the band until your arms are fully extended. Return back to start.

Grab a bag of flour and let’s do some core exercises! A bag of flour can add resistance while strengthening the upper and lower abdominals.

To strengthen your back muscles, try Superman! Be sure to keep your neck straight and use your upper and middle back muscles. Place a pillow under your hips to relieve pressure on your lower back.
