Lateral Raises

This simple exercise is great on “arm days,” and will help build your deltoids.  Choose weights that are comfortable, no bending or swaying should occur

6-8 reps X 4 sets

Start with weights at your sides

slowly raise weights evenly

Have weights parallel to shoulders (repeat in a moderate pace)

Stretched Planking

To add a twist to the traditional planking, this is a great way to build your core

Switch arms and legs every 30-40 seconds
