Grab some weights and a stability ball and build some muscle in that upper body! Not only will your arms/ back / shoulders look great in a strapless dress, tank top or bikini, you’ll be strong enough to carry all of your groceries in at once!
Have fun you powerhouse you ;).
Before starting the circuit, warm up for five minutes.
Stability Ball Pull Downs: lying on the ball, with the ball under your tummy and your chest up, extend your arms above your head in an ‘o’ shape. Pull your arms back, bringing your shoulder blades together and making a ‘u’ shape. Repeat 12 times.
Alternating Swimmers: with the stability ball under your tummy and your chest up, start by lifting your arm and the opposite leg to the sky. Hold the pose for 2 seconds and release. Lift the other arm and leg. Repeat 12 times.
Push Ups: with the stability ball under your hips, bring your arms to the floor in front of you directly under your shoulders. You can either draw your feet in towards your hips like I did or you can extend them straight behind you. Keep your head in line with your spine and perform 12 push ups, balancing on the ball.
Arnold Press: sitting on the stability ball with your chest up and weight by your side. Curl your arms up so the weights are at your chest, under your chin. Turn the weights out as your press up for a shoulder press. Return to your chest and repeat 12 times.
Narrow Chest Press: lie on your back with your knees bent. Grab one weight and hold it with both hands. Bring the weight down to your chest and extend to the sky. Repeat 12 reps.
Rest for 1-2 minutes after this cycle and repeat 1-2 times.
Cool down and stretch 5-10 minutes.
