☼Sun☼ Up, Guns Up!
No, I’m NOT talking about arming ourselves with ammo ~ despite the recent open carry law in my state (that caused controversy and healthy debate among my ☼summer☼ speech students)
I don’t shoot at moving targets ~ simply for sport!
but I do mean business when it comes to our arms!
Since we’re baring more skin in the ☼summer☼ heat, we want to be eye candy, am I right?
Here are some moves to take your company to a gun show!
Arm Yourself in the Gun Show Scene with this Routine
[with bodyweight ~ shoot for 10 per set]
- Standard Pushups {wide grip for shoulders}
- Diamond Pushups {narrow grip for triceps}
[with weight resistance ~ 2-3×10-12 heavy or 2-3×15-60 light]
- Chest Flies {to firm up our pectorals to reduce unsightly armpit fat} ~ holding weights directly in front of your chest, push outward to your sides
- Shoulder Raises ~ holding weights at each shoulder, raise directly above your head
- Bicep Curls ~ holding weights at 45* facing you, curl toward you; I recommend variations from in front of you to your sides to create a “W”
- Tricep Press ~ holding weights at your side with arm hinged, press behind you
Bonus Baby Back
- Renegade Row ~ from plank with weight in one hand, bring up to chest level
- Lateral Pulldown ~ while seated at the bench, bring arms up to hanging bar with arms facing forward, pull down to chest level
Even when you’re not in beast mode, or getting ready for a major event or a special somebody
Happy Independence Day to the Great U*S of *A!!!

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.

Arms and abs are where it’s at!
Actually, more like upper bod ~ arms, shoulders, chest and back ~ plus core ~ abs and lower back ~ to be exact! So, make that haste and blast your bod from shoulders to waist!
