Hi everybody, it's Shasha with Action
News's fitness tip. I'm at the AB
apartments in King of Pressia. Grab some
dumbbells. We are getting to work on
these arms. And I'm telling you, this is
quite an amazing exercise, and it looks
simple, but it's also really effective.
Okay, taking that right leg forward.
We're going to get into a lunge
position. I'm not really going to drop
down into a lunge. I'm going to keep my
back leg kind of straight because
believe it or not, just putting all your
body weight in this right leg, those
muscles are going to start to work.
You're going to feel it in your right
leg. Literally, by standing still,
static hold. Okay? Rolling the shoulders
back. I'm hinging forward, pushing back
on that right hip here. And all we do is
sweep our arms. Right? Alternating. Left
goes first. We're going to lift shoulder
height. Then switch to the other side.
So, I'm breathing. I'm inhaling through
my nose, out through my mouth, keeping
my arms straight, and I'm not going any
higher than my shoulder. And I want to
really feel it in my triceps. I want to
feel it in my shoulders, even in the
middle of my back. I can feel my muscles
working. Phenomenal exercise. And the
thing is is you don't have to go heavy
here. You really don't. I'm holding five
lbs in each hand and I feel it. You can
even use threes and feel it. Just make
sure you are really keeping your form
correct because I don't want you to feel
it in the neck. I don't want you to feel
it in the lower back. Okay. So, we're
going to aim for 12 to 15 sweeps.
And then we're going to switch legs and
do the other leg, too. Because we are,
even though we're just holding still on
that right leg, we are still working
those muscles. So, I'm an even girl. I
need to be even on both sides of my body
at all times. So, what you do on the
right, we're going to do on the left.
But
that felt good. I know you're going to
love it. What are you waiting for? Give
it a try today.
