More knock 2 muscles with 1 stone as we tone …
Our triceps and thighs!
Enjoy these moves that target both at the same time:
Seesaw (20 reps each side)
- On your side, bend the bottom leg and extend the top leg while placing the palms of your hands on the mat/floor with your arms facing each other 45*
- Then press your arms to engage your tris while you raise your top leg to engage your thighs; switch sides per set
Clam Dips (20 reps)
- While seated, ring the soles of your feet together in butterfly/clamshell position and the palms of your hands on the mat/floor with your arms straight back
- Then bend (dip) your elbows to lower your back to contract your tris while you bring (press) your thighs together
Butterfly (20 sec)
- Keep your soles together and stretch out your thighs by lowering them to the ground
- Stretch your tris by alternating your arms behind your head, holding the palm of the outstretched arm
Flashback Friday: The mild weather of early ☼spring☼ (now) and pre-♣fall♣ (then) plus being in *beast beauty mode* takes me back to my 10-year h.s. reunion when I worked those *tris* and *thighs* (with my military brat bestie Nora to my left)

Have you ever chopped wood before?
My brother in †CHRIST†, Joe, says that he got a great workout from it growing up.
We who aren’t lumberjacks, like Paul Bunyan or my bro-in-law, still can reap the benefits of slicing and dicing …
mañana!
At least with going with the motions!
With legs slightly bent, bring your hands together, sweep upward then diagonally down while turning your core.
Therefore, you’re working out your arms and more: lunging with your legs, as well as trimming your waistline!
Interesting timing that my hometown just had an incident involving ax violence. I wrote this before hearing that news and by no means condone aerobic activity for crime. Best wishes for the victim and hopes for the suspect’s repent.
