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)
