Goodbye granny arms!

Try this 20 minute workout at home, and wave goodbye to those granny arms for good!

Heve everything you need? Ready to go? Then, let's do it!

Start in a plank position, with forearms and toes on ground.

Lean on the left arm and place right hand on ground. Next lean onto right hand and place left hand on ground. You’ll now find yourself in a high pushup position.

Reverse the movement by placing one forearm on the ground at a time, returning to the starting position.

Reps

10 reps, then immediately move to the next exercise!

Stand and hold a weighted object of choice (can of soup, dumbbell, whatever!) behind your head. Next, attempt to straighten out your elbows without moving any other part of your arm so that the weighted object moves up toward the ceiling.

Reverse the movement by allowing your elbows to slowly bend so that the weighted object is behind your head again, where you started the movement.

Reps

10 reps, then immediately move to the next exercise!

Don’t worry! If you can’t do pushups on the ground, do them with your hands on your couch and feet on the ground. If you can’t do them that way, do them on the wall!

To perform a push up, you start with your arms straight then slowly lower your chest toward your hands. Once you get as low as you can, you push your body back up to the starting position.

Reps

10 reps, then immediately move to the next exercise!

Grab your weighted object (or just do the movement without weight, you will still feel the burn!) and bend over slightly at the waist. Allow your arms to hang down toward the floor. Pull your weighted object toward your chest, attempting to keep your elbows tight beside you as you perform the movement. Slowly let your arms drop back down toward the starting position.

NOTE: if this movement bothers your back, support yourself with one arm and on a stable surface, such as a chair or table while the other arm performs the movement.

Reps

10 reps, then immediately move to the next exercise!

Once again, grab your weighted object or just perform the movement without weight. In standing, hold the weighted object at shoulder height and push your arms straight up overhead toward the ceiling. Reverse the movement and allow your arms and the weight to return to the starting position.

Reps

Repeat 10 times and then return to up/down planks. Remember to drink water and take a small break if you need to - but not for too long, you need to keep up the energy and adrenaline to make the most of this workout!

In standing, reach one arm over and behind your head. Grab the elbow of this arm with your opposite hand and lightly push down until you feel a gentle stretch in your triceps. Hold this stretch for 10 seconds and repeat 3 times on each arm.

Bring one of your arms across your body, as if you are giving yourself a hug. Grab the elbow of this arm with your opposite hand and push slightly further into the stretch until you feel a gentle pulling sensation in the back of your shoulder. Hold the stretch for 10 seconds and repeat 3 times on each side.

Bend over at the waist, slightly biasing one side and allow an arm to dangle down in front of you. Move your hips in a gentle, circular motion and allow your arm to move with the momentum, as if it’s a giant ladle stirring a huge pot of soup! Continue for 10 seconds and repeat 3 times on each side.
