August 2015 Arms Workout

I can't believe it's already August! It seems like July flew by! Since it's a new month, that means it's time for a new arms workout. As you could see by the Russian twist I added to the July workout, there's also a core component. This month, I've stepped it up to two core moves. 

Having a strong core is important for triathletes, but it isn't something that is necessarily strengthened by swimming, biking, and/or running. Therefore, when I go through this workout, I make sure to maintain good posture and engage my core. The lying leg raises can be challenging, so drop the weights entirely if needed.

I do this workout 2 to 3 times a week. So grab a medium set of dumbbells (I use a set of 15 lb ones) and join in on the fun! Your arms will be looking svelte in that tri top in no time! :)

I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into my training regimen. As I am not a physician, please consult your doctor before performing this workout if you have any injuries or if you are embarking on a fitness journey for the first time. Honor your body and if it hurts, stop! Thanks!
