Good Bye Wings: Tricep extension

Have you ever waved "Hi" to someone, and your arms KEEP waving?! If so, THIS exercise is for you!
FOCUS:
1. Elbows MUST stay close to the ears
2. Pelvis tucked under
3. ABs sucked in and lifted up to the heart

BEGIN:
1.Using light weights if you're just starting out. 2-5 lbs for EACH hand is good. 8-10 lbs for advanced.
2.Extend both arms over head (weights parallel to the ceiling). Elbow tight to the ears
SQUEEZE the back of your arms (triceps)



Oops! Do you see my wrists?? Make sure yours DO NOT do that! They should be in a straight line from the forearm!

3.Slowly bring the weights down, elbows pointed to the ceiling.

4. ELBOWS MUST stay close to the ears!!

5.Over exaggerate a tucked pelvis to protect the lower back from injury.

Safety First People!!

Um...sorry about the "crazy" eyes! My sweet hubby took these pics super fast for me! I guess it shows my "REAL" side!! Mu-whaa (evil laugh!)
