Day 19 - Triceps

Good morning my workout friends!  Wow, I cannot believe that today is day 19!  6 more exercises and we will be at the end of the 25 day challenge.  Many of you have done an incredible job.  I am very impressed- and I hope that you feel great about your accomplishment, because you have worked hard! 

With that being said, and considering what I have put you through the past week, today is going to be considerably lighter.  Simply because we need another weight lifting exercise, and we need to work our arms a bit more.  Last week was mostly legs and core, this week we are going to focus more on our arms and upper body.

Triceps extension:
You need your handweights for this one (one heavy weight works nicely, if you have it).  If not, just grip the two weights together.  Starting position: weights in hands together above head, arms fully extended.  (Rest of body is in our supportive feet together, knees slightly bent, abs in tight, shoulders back position)  Your elbows are in tight to your head.  Lower your forearms so that the weight touches the back of your neck- keeping your elbows in tight to your head the whole time.  As you extend your arms back to the starting position, squeeze your arms, pushing up like you want to push through the ceiling.  Do this 25 times.

Let me know if you need any clarification, otherwise: until tomorrow...
