Day 20 - More arms!

This one should give you a pretty decent burn... lol.

Starting position:  Standing with our good posture, arms are straight out from shoulders (T), now bend your elbows so that your hands are toward the front. (think of your arms and body making a U- only with corners!) 
We are going to use this starting position both today and tomorrow, so remember it! :) 
Today's challenge goes two ways- forward and back.  Extend your arms so that your hands meet in front of your body, then return to starting position.  (if you have hand weights, this is a great time to bring them out!) We are working our pectoral muscles and biceps, with a bit of assistance from the shoulders.  Do 25 reps of this exercise. 
Now when we take this motion back, we are working our upper backs and triceps.  The motion is not a large one, so just take it back within your comfort zone and squeeze throughout the entire move.  Again 25 reps. 
Hope to see many of you tonight!  Enjoy!
