Power Monday #20 Bodyweight Arm Workout

Published: Nov 18, 2013 · Modified: Jul 23, 2017 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Happy Power Monday lovelies! How was your weekend? Mine turned out to be pretty great 🙂 Saturday started with a new Quinoa Flake breakfast! I used the Amazing Grass's new Cafe Mocha Amazing Meal! It was yummy 😉 I used half the packet in the flakes and then later for lunch I added the other half to my blueberry green smoothie...lovin' life!

I also went to the library and got my studying out of the way and some other homework I saw that would be introduced next week. But I hate to procrastinate so I got it done this weekend, win! I went to the grocery and then came home and cooked up a storm! Soup, bread, the works! I will be sharing all these recipes over the next couple of weeks because I did a lot of recipe development over the last two weekends! I totally burned my tongue eating the soup...happens every time, even though this soup was cooling for over an hour covered in the pot. I heated it up a bit in the microwave and well ya, it was hot. No patience here 😉 Saturday ended with a wonderful yoga session and some relaxing reading of an actual book, yay, back to my old habits! Sunday was spend just really being lazy. I took at name around 12:30 and woke-up around 1:40pm...So Good! Since I wake up at like 4:30-5ish on weekends, I think I deserve those naps anyway. Way back, I used to go back to sleep around 7:30-8am, but I just stay awake now and get things done 😉 Anyway after my nap I went downstairs to do some veggie steam action and as I was cleaning up and washing dishes I looked out the window and saw a few white flakes fall from the sky. It was snowing! But then I looked at the window thermometer and it read...65ºF. I guess it wasn't snow :p This weather is being very weird. Apparently though it will be back in the low 30s later this week...joy.

Power Monday

So last week I gave you guys a quick lower body workout, so I thought I would give you a quick upper body workout you can "take" anywhere over the busy holiday season! I used all bodyweight moves so you can whip this one out anywhere. Pair it with the November Leg Burner and you got a perfect full body workout!

Bodyweight Arm WorkoutNotes:

+ The unfamiliar moves: Shoulder Taps, Chaturange Hold, Diamond Push-Ups.

+ If you don't have a pull-up bar your can just do bent over shoulder squeezes! Just lean over with a flat back, bring your arms up and inline with you head. Then bend you elbows to your sides and squeeze those shoulder blades! Hold for 2 seconds, bring them back to start and repeat. Do 10 of these!

+ Honor your body and ability. Rest 30 seconds or so between rounds! Most importantly, have fun!

So tell me:

What is your favorite bodyweight move? Plank and Push-ups!

Try any new fun foodie products lately? I will be showing off my Vitacost haul in tomorrow's post! When that box came, it was like Christmas came a few weeks early 😉

    Planks are my favorite bodyweight move 🙂 I love being able to time myself to see how I'm improving!

    WHY DO YOU WAKE UP SO EARLY?! (I'm not screaming at you- I am more so crying at the thought of waking up at 5am on a Saturday- no bueno for this girl, lol) I give you mad props for being so productive. Although, when I was in college, I hated procrastinating and would get my homework done early, too! Happy Monday, girlie!

      Haha! My body just wakes me up then! But I am never up past 9:30pm. And during the week I like to be asleep by like 9!

    A great plan! I used to hate tricep dips but over time they really got better. I'll have to look up Chaturanga.

    Great workout! Planks are one of my favorite body weight exercises, along with jumping lunges!

      Planks are always #1! Jumping Lunges are a killer cardio move 🙂
