Who wants to have flab bulging out from under their bra? Certainly not me…and probably not you! Well here are three simple exercises to help you tone up and blast the bra flab!
Work up to 3 sets 15 reps. After set one exercise #1., do exercise #2. and #3.. Then repeat the sequence so each exercise is done 3 times for a total of 45 reps.
1. Reverse Fly: Use 2-3lb. weights in each hand: while seated bring your chest to your thighs (or as close as possible) keep your back flat as opposed to rounded. Bring your hands underneath your legs, thumbs toward each other. Bring your arms out to the side with a 90 degree angle in each elbow. As you lift, squeeze your shoulder blades together. Do 3 sets 15 reps. After set one, do exercise #2. and #3.. Then repeat the sequence
2. Lawnmower: Stand with your right leg forward as if you were lunging. Place your right hand on your upper thigh. Hold both weights with your left hand and extend your arm until there is only a slight bend in your elbow. Then pull your left arm back creating a deep bend in your left elbow as you bring it back. At the same time squeeze your left shoulder blade. Repeat on your right arm.
3. Upright Row: Stand with a slight bend in each knee, abdominals tight, weights in each hand resting on your thighs. Then bring the weights in front of your body, separate your hands as your arms come up towards your chest. Raise your elbows up and squeeze your shoulder blades back.
