Arm muscles, first time in 22 years

Last night I found myself staring at my arms, thinking "What are THESE?" I have arm muscles for the first time since my kids were toddlers. Amazing. Very cool.

We are lucky enough to have a pool and it's been hot in Massachusetts. I've been doing quite a bit of swimming. Sun salutes in yoga are good for my arms too. And then a few weeks ago my husband really hurt his back. It's terrible for him. But I have to do 100% of the lifting (garbage, groceries, grandson, etc.) and it's paying off.

Of course, the weather will cool and my swimming will stop and I hope my husband will recover soon, but till then I'll enjoy the new look. I have some hand weights in my office that I literally never use, maybe I'll give them a try.

    That's great! I've been trying really hard to get some muscles in my arms. I have biceps so far, but my triceps are still wiggly. :sad:

    Kudos to you for overcoming the tricep wiggle. :happy:
