Monday, March 25: Arms & Shoulders + Short Cardio

10 Shoulder Presses
Here’s how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-aVuyhvLHU
10 Lateral Raises
Here’s how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDqklk1ZESo
10 Chair Dips
Here’s how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKjcgfu44sI
10 Bicep Curls
Here’s how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av7-8igSXTs

Repeat for a total of 10 sets. Try not to take more than a 30 second break between each exercise.

*A Note about weights. Your weight should be light enough that you can complete 10 repetitions, but heavy enough that getting to that 10th rep is a challenge.

Short Cardio: Today is also a short cardio day. Any kind is fine (jogging, power-walking, biking, jumping rope, swimming, etc). Try to do something to get your heart-rate elevated for at least 15 minutes. If you can go longer, even better!

Recommendations:
30 Minute Interval Training by CafeMom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwXzXpmwFG4
35 Minute Jillian Michaels Six Week 6-pack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ8Zdj0OPMI
20 Minute Latin-Dance Aerobics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4eIDxmVmCw

Let us know if you are in, and come back at the end of the day and let us know what you’ve done.

    I am in! I tried the shoulder press with 5 lb , but I thought I am going to die. I will start light with 2 pounds and do the 10 reps.
    Thank you for posting how to do them. Cheers! Diana

    I think I need to bring my weights to work as I have no idea how to fit this in today between a short run and karate classes. I'll sneak it in some how.

    I am in. I did not get up this morning as planned -- my family and I caught some kind of stomach virus this weeked (yucK!) :blushing: and I am still a little exausted, I will be doing the cardio and the strenth training tonight after work. After reading all that you ladies have done today. I am hyped and it is Monday(not my favorite day of the week)! Cheers to you all :drinker: for getting us off to an awesome start. I will have to blog about the workout tomorrow no computer access at home right now. Challenge ON! Great Job everyone!

    My 25th of Mar check-in...Arms and Shoulders workout done and 20min of cardio. All earned me 109 calories so going to enjoy a glass of wine with dinner.

    If you haven't done it yet today do everything you can to fit in it-getting it done feels awesome. If you simple can't, forgive yourself and commit to tomorrow no matter what.

    Have a good evening everyone

    I do full body workouts so I didn't exactly do the program...but my workout did include power cleans and dips so maybe I was close? It was hard and it lasted a long time.

    I did my regular full body strength workout, but added weight to my arm and shoulder tracks. I only got 10 minutes of cardio in though, busy busy Monday!

    I sneaked 3 sets in before karate on the lats, the press and the curls and a 15 minute run. I'll take a look at tomorrows legs challenge. I'll be missing my tabata class this week so this will really help.

    Did 5 sets before my wrists started causing issues :grumble:, I will do as much of the upper body stuff as I can until I see the specialist next month about my wrists.
