This weeks challenge!
Sumo Squats 20 a day, 10 to each side.
Stand up straight feet, slightly apart.
Take a step out to the side and squat. As far as you can, if you are just beginning then go as far as you can and don't worry, eventually you will be able to "sweep the floor".
Bring feet back together and repeat for the other side.
If they feel too easy then pulse a couple of times before returning to the original position.

Yeah baby!!!!! I read it in time, I am on it.
I was impressed with my push ups, I guess my bench pressing is working because I can do them (the girl way though)

I did mine against a wall and I can feel it in my shoulders, shoulder blades, and flabby upper arms.

Yes, it's called the "lunchroom lady arm" exercise
Go to the doctor
Schedule plastic surgery
Be in pain
Other than that, it's just deal with it and smile

Betsy, once I have the weight above my head do you mean that I bend my elbos so that the weight is then behind my head? I'm so dumb about exercise!

My upper arm muscles are so big and heavy that they fell down, lol.... seriously, though... once you get to be a certain age, the skin isn't as resilient and doesn't spring back, so even if you do lose a lot of weight and tone up, you are still left with a lot of saggy skin  You youngsters, take heed! Get rid of that excess weight as soon as you can! |
