Work Out With Me Friday | Sexy Summer Beach Arms

Work Out With Me Friday!



Todays workout is ARMS!!! Its super simple and can be done ANYWHERE by ANYONE!  I used to do this in my dorm room in college. We'll be doing 12 of each exercise and repeating the whole thing at least once. If you're a pro, or using lighter weights try to shoot for 3 sets!

All you need is a light set of weights preferable 3-5 lbs you can get them HERE on Amazon. BUT if you don't have weights you CAN still do the workout! You can't get off of it that easy! There are zero excuses!

If you are a beginner (never worked out before in your life) just start with using 2 cans of food such as pinto beans or pasta sauce. They range between 1 and 2 lbs per can. Just be aware that fluid ounces and regular ounces aren't always the same. Later on you can make weights (see below) or go buy a set.

How to make weights:
Find 2 empty bottles laying around your house or in the trash and fill them with dirt, sand, rocks or anything else you can find. You can add cotton balls or an old sock to the bottles so your weights don't double as maracas! Just stick them on the scale and weigh them out as you fill. :)

Work Out With Me Friday! : 6 Min Abs

Work Out With Me Friday!
6-Min 6 Pack Abs



You will need: Interval timer
  • You can download the iPhone app called Interval Timer for FREE
  • Use this website: Interval Timer
  • Simply use a stop watch / timer and keep an eye on your time!
  • OR if you have and extra $20ish laying around you can order one off of Amazon Here
    • These are nice because they clip onto your top or pants and you don't have to think about anything. Sounds silly but, nothing makes a workout feel twice as long than constantly looking at and messing with the clock. They're great for HIIT. 
    • I like the brand GymBoss because you can do smaller intervals such as 30 seconds. Some only go to down to 1 min. Read up on what you buy before you buy it!
Set your interval timer to: 
  • Interval 1: High Intensity -  0:30 sec
  • Interval 2: Low Intensity -  0:10 sec
  • 10 sets
Do each exercise for :30 seconds, resting for :10 seconds in-between each one.
  1. Slow Alternating Bicycles 
  2. Plank
  3. V sit
  4. Mountain Climbers
  5. Scissor kicks
Repeat!
