Three Upper Body Exercises To Strengthen And Tone

Three Upper Body Exercises To Strengthen And Tone

Need a quick workout to strengthen and tone your back and arms?  I’ve got you covered.

In the video below I demonstrate three upper body exercises you can perform almost anywhere.  All you need is a set of free weights.  If you don’t have any weights just yet, you can start by performing the exercises without weights or use a pair of sixteen ounce unopened water bottles.

Free weights can be ordered from companies like Amazon and Power Systems or you can find them them at your local sporting goods stores.

If you like to be frugal and/or don’t like seeing usable stuff go into landfill, online community bulletin boards like Nextdoor and Freecycle are great places to find free fitness equipment.​​​​​​​

Enjoy the video and have a fun and fit week!

Upper Body Exercise TO STRENGTHEN AND TONE

Add Variety To Your Leg Routine With This Squat Exercise

Add Variety To Your Leg Routine With This Squat Exercise by Jennifer Ledford

If you exercise regularly, it’s easy to get into the routine of doing the same set of exercises every time.  I’ll be the first one to tell you that doing the same exercises every time you workout will always be better than doing nothing at all. However, there is something to be said for adding a bit of variety to your workout routine.

Adding new activities to your routine can challenge your muscles, your nervous system, and your brain.  One of the easiest ways to challenge yourself physically and mentally is to move the body in multiple directions during a workout.

Adding Variety To Your Squats

In today’s video I demonstrate how to move “side to side” while performing squats.  I’ve added some upper body work as well.  It’s a simple exercise that helps tone and strengthen the legs, glutes, back, and abs.  That’s a lot of return for a small investment of your time!

Enjoy the video and have a great week!
