We are working biceps, triceps chest and our core today! This workout is similar to W5D1 - we are aiming to progressive overload where we can! 

These are set up in circuits where the first two movements are your upper body lifts and following is a core movement! Remember to engage your core during every lift!

- Hold the dumbbells with your palms facing away from you
- Curl the dumbbells up keeping your elbows in and engaging your bicep 
- Lower with a controlled motion
- Curl the dumbbells up with your forearms at 45 degrees 
- Lower with a controlled motion

Alternating dumbbell Traditional to Wide curls

- Hinge forward keeping a bend at your knee
- Holding dumbbells in each hand and arms bent to 90 degrees at your sides
- Extend your arms engaging your triceps
- Lower back to starting position

Dumbbell tricep kickbacks

- From a seated position with knees bent and feet off the floor
- Keep your back straight and lean back to 45 degrees 
- Clasp hands together in front of your core
- Twist your torso from side to side
* 30 total reps

*Russian twists

- Start in a T side plank hold
- Raise your upper leg
- Lower it back to the starting position and repeat
- 12 per side

Side plank + leg raise (postpartum alternative)

Triset:

- Hold the dumbbells with your palms facing each other
- Curl the dumbbells up engaging your bicep as you curl
- Reps are each arm

Hammer curls

- From a high plank position, hands under shoulders 
- Bending at the elbows, lower your chest towards the floor 
- Elbows should be going back towards your feet and staying close to your body 
- Extend your arms to come back up

Tricep push up

Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your arms extended behind you.

Raise your hips to lift your glutes off the ground (table top position) and hold this elevated position.

Keeping your right arm and left leg stable on the ground, lift your left arm and right leg off the ground so they touch.

Lower your left arm and right leg and now repeat the movement on the other side, lifting your right arm and left leg.

*Crab toe touches

-Sit on your butt with your hands firmly on the ground behind you 
-Extend your body into a reverse plank position
- Alternate leg raises

Reverse plank hold w/ alternating leg raises (postpartum)

Single arm chest press + other arm + full lying chest press = 1 rep

Chest Press Complex

- Lay down on bench or floor with a dumbbell in each hand
- Place the dumbbells together side by side and press them up over your chest  
- Keeping the dumbbells squeezed together lower them back to your chest

Dumbbell narrow chest press

- Elbows under shoulders and hands out front
- Keep entire body tight as you hold position for time

Plank

- Lift your legs so your knees are directly over your hips
- Slowly lower one arm and extend opposite leg until they’re just above the floor
- Bring them back to the starting position 
- 10 per side

Dead bug (postpartum alternative)

Drop set - start with your heaviest weight and drop down as needed until the amount of reps are completed!
