How to Create Sleek + Sexy Shoulders

Are you looking for ways to create sleek + sexy shoulders? Biceps too? 💪

How would you like a simple way to get sculpted arms? 👍

Would you love to enjoy the nice weather outdoors while exercising? 🌴 Kick off your shoes and let’s go! 👣

I have the answers to all of your questions above as we continue the Summer Slimdown Series! ✅  One of the best ways to define your arms is to divide your upper body workouts by focusing on 2 maybe 3 muscle groups at one workout.  The workout below will focus on the shoulder and bicep muscles, then another blog post later will focus on the chest and back muscles.  When you concentrate on just a few muscles groups in one workout, I promise YOU WILL START TO SEE THE RESULTS!

Equipment: Resistance Tubes.  I highly recommend you use these tubes, because you will use your muscles in a different way by extending and contracting while doing these moves.  If you do not rest or release the resistance while performing the exercise, you will get an added benefit of extra strengthening!  If you need tubes, I have placed a link here for your convenience. Resistance Tubes.  Also, if you struggle with getting yourself motivated to exercise, I suggest getting a Fit Journal, where you can write down your accomplishments you make during your fitness journey.  Praise yourself when you do well, with fitness stickers or motivational quotes.  Then you can reflect on the positive things you have done and how you felt when you accomplished your goals.  It’s a great way to get yourself motivated to keep exercising and find the inspiration you need on days when you don’t feel like working out!

Where:  ANYWHERE!  A great thing about the tubes, is that they are portable, so you can take them anywhere . . . beach, park, backyard, hotel room, your home!

Do: 3 sets of 12 reps.  Beginner do 3 sets of 10 reps.  Advanced do 3 sets of 15 reps.

SLEEK + SEXY SHOULDERS AND BICEPS WORKOUT

SEXY SHOULDER PRESS

  1. Stand with feet about shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and core tight (tuck in pelvis and keep ab muscles engaged). Grab handles and place above shoulders.
  2. Extend tube overhead bringing the handles to meet above the head and then very slowly return to starting position.

SCULPTING SIDE RAISES:

  1. Stand with feet about shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and core tight (tuck in pelvis and keep ab muscles engaged). Grab handles and place by your side slightly away from your body.
  2. Extend tube outward bringing the handles about parallel to the ground and then very slowly return to starting position.

FABULOUS FRONT CROSS RAISES:

  1. Stand with feet about shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and core tight (tuck in pelvis and keep ab muscles engaged). Grab handles and place in front of your thighs slightly away from your body.
  2. Extend tube outward and cross over your body keeping your arms straight bringing the handle about parallel to the ground and then very slowly return to starting position.

“BUILD YOUR BICEPS” CURLS:

  1. Stand with feet about shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and core tight (tuck in pelvis and keep ab muscles engaged). Grab handles and place in front of your thighs slightly away from your body.
  2. Extend tube upward curling towards your biceps, squeezing at the top and then very slowly return to starting position.

“BACKLESS READY” BACKWARDS RAISES: (actually this is for the back part of shoulders)

  1. Stand with feet about shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and core tight (tuck in pelvis and keep ab muscles engaged). Grab handles and place by your booty slightly away from your body.
  2. Extend tube backward away from your body keeping your arms straight bringing the handle about 45 degrees away from your booty and then very slowly return to starting position.

OUTSTANDING OUTWARD BICEP CURLS:

  1. Stand with feet about shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and core tight (tuck in pelvis and keep ab muscles engaged). Grab handles and place by the side of your thighs slightly away from your body.
  2. Curl tube inward bringing the handles towards your biceps, squeezing at the top end and then very slowly return to starting position.

You are DONE and on your way to Sleek + Sexy Shoulders & Biceps, NOW go relax and enjoy your day, hopefully outside! 🌞

” Exercise is a celebration of what your body can DO! So set your goals and get ready for change.”
