Welcome to week 2 of the fitness challenge! If you have been following along with the challenge moves, you can see that it IS possible to target, tone and work up a sweat without using any equipment at all in just 21 minutes a day!!!
Now as the weather is starting to brighten up, this weeks challenge really focuses on developing sleek arms and strong shoulders (trust me, those shoulder height bicep curls after the criss cross arms are NO joke!!). Most of the exercises are pretty much self explanatory....apart from Walnut Crushers!!
Walnut Crushers??
LOL I know what kind of move is that right? Well its perfect for targeting the muscles in the upper back (no more bulges around the bra strap!!). You basically start with your arms out like the capital letter T and then you bring your elbows towards your ribs whilst you keep your shoulder blades back (so you are making a W-shape with your arms). You will start to feel it when you are repeating this move for 1 minute!!
Remember this is your workout. You can modify both the moves and intensity to suit your fitness level. I tend to warm up with the first exercise by easing into it, but of course you can add in additional time for a warm up and a cool down.
So now you have the moves, what are you waiting for????
