Jessica

I'm worried I don't have the right form on diamond push ups because my elbows hurt when I do it.

Jordan

On the diamond push-up, it would be helpful to know if the arms are supposed to be shoulder level
Or higher.

Anna

Feeling that mind muscle connection more and more every day

Love this!!!! Holy sweat!! Moved yp in weights. Perfect workout to do on my 3rd day of recovery from sinus infection!!!

Michelle

Love this workout. Easy to follow and feel the burn of the workout. I add an extra set to all and to make the negative curl a little more challenging I will do a squat will doing them phew 💪💪.

Melanie

Upper Body Workout for Day 8. Complete 2 set of 15 reps for each exercise. Rest 35 to 45 seconds between each set of 15 reps and/or exercises.

Warm up for 5 minutes. You can do this by turning on your favorite music and dancing or marching  in place. Check out the cardio day video for ideas to make marching in place way less boring for ideas.

• Lay on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor
• Start with your your arms bent at 90 degrees with your elbows aligned with your shoulder
• Before you press up, engage your core, engage you back, then push straight up without locking your elbows.
• At the top, squeeze.
• Make sure that when you press up that you go up and down on the middle of your chest. 
• When you come back down don’t rest your arms keep them just above the ground.
NOTE: for those of us with larger arms, you are focused on the internal structure of your arms... ie. muscle and bone, it is OKAY if you skin is on the ground.

BLUB Dumbbell Press

Directions:
• Position feet should width apart
• The further your feet are away from the wall, the more challenging the exercise.
• Place your hands with your fingers touching making a diamond shape on the wall. The the floor your hand placement would be at the bottom of your chest. On the wall it is higher for stability and to make room for our chest.
• Lower yourself to a maximum of 90 degrees.
OPTION: 45 degrees is great too!

BLUB Diamond Wall Pushup

• Stand with feet should width apart
NOTE: Can be done sitting with knees apart.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms placed in front, going down your middle.
• Palms Facing down, lift up with your shoulders.
• Do not let your elbows do higher than your shoulders.
• Make sure you are lifting up with you SHOULDERS not your arms.
• Dumbbells will reach the top of your chest, palms facing down, and elbows straight out from your shoulders.
• Squeeze and pause for a moment at the top.
• Lower to starting point. Repeat.
NOTE: do not lock you elbows out

BLUB Upright Row

• Stand with feet shoulder width apart
• Bend your elbows to you side at 90 degrees.
• Engage your core.
• Hold dumbbells upright with your palms facing each other.
• Raise your arms up until the are paralell to the floor.
• Make sure you are pressing your shoulders down and OUT of your ears when you lift up.
NOTE: don’t shrug your shoulders at the the top. Pressing your shoulder down and engaging your back helps.
Pause at the top.
Come back to starting and repeat.

BLUB bent elbow side shoulder raise

• Sit with your feet apart.
• Hold one wait in one hand and put your other hand on your opposite thigh for stability.
