Wedding Day Shoulders & Arms
Who doesn’t want fit, sculpted, non-jiggly arms on their wedding day? I know that was a goal of mine. Not only was I bound and determined to fit into my dress without any back fat hanging out, but I also wanted sculpted arms and shoulders. And I didn’t just want them for my wedding day, I wanted them for our honeymoon too!
Here is my favorite upper body workout routine that will help tone your arms, chest, and shoulders while burning the fat.
Do number 1. Then do exercises 2-7. Repeat 2-7 two more times. Finish with number 8.
| 1. Run 1 mile as fast as you can go | 2. Pushups** 20 reps** |
| 3. Stationary Froggers**20 jumps** | 4. Bicep curls to shoulder press**20 reps** |
| 5. Walking Planks**10 on each arm | 6. Burpees w/ a wide jump**20 Burpees** |
| 7. Standing Kickbacks**20 reps** | 8. Run 1 mile as fast as you can go |
Stationary Froggers:
- Get into a plank position on your hands.
- Make sure your back is flat and your hands stay directly under your shoulders.
- You will jump your feet up so that they land beside your hands.
- Then jump back into the plank position.
- Do these in a fast motion.
Bicep curl to shoulder press:
- Stand with feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent, and back straight
- Hold dumbells in each hand with palms facing forward
- Bend the elbows and lift the dumbells up towards your shoulders and then up over your head
- Slowly return back to starting poition
- **Avoid swinging the weights or using your back to lift the weights
Walking Planks:
- Start in a plank position.
- Move your right hand into standard push up position, then move your left hand into standard push up position.
- Return to the starting position by lowering onto your right forearm and then your left forearm. Do this 10 times.
- Switch sides, rising onto your left hand next, then your right.
Burpee (aka squat thrust) with wide jump:
- Begin in standing position with feet together. Lower your body into a squat position, placing your hands on the floor in front of you.
- Kick your feet back so you are in a plank/pushup position (be sure to keep your back flat)
- Kick your feet out as wide as you can (do not dip your back) and bring them back in so they are together again.
- Kick your feet back into the original position and stand up jumping as high as you can with your hands over your head.
