This 10 minute arm workout will give you some more moves to add to you repetoire, but its also just an easy way to squeeze in a quick workout.
Do 3 - 10 minute videos today and give your body the attention it deserves. Even if it just one video 3X today or 3 different ones at different times (or consecutively) today. I challenge you to a minimum of 30 minutes of body activity today!

So like Nike says, Just Do It! 

Here is the video of the day.
Grab some light weights (3-10 lb dumbbells - whatever you are comfortable with) and do these series of movements 3X through for a great workout with the lovely ladies of toneitup.com.

For the remainder of the week concentrate on what you will be doing in your workout to maximize each today. Here is an idea:

Wednesday- arms & back
Thursday- legs & bum

Move It Monday: do some weight training today for your guns!

Train with Cameron Diaz’s trainer and work your arms, shoulders and back out with a ten minute workout.
Grab 3-5 lb. dumbbells and you are set!

Go-go-go! Its Monday, start your week off right. 

So, today I did a little scouting and to my surprise and delight I found a site that I intend on using to the fullest this month: www.mybarre3.com !!
This site has a great selection of barre classes inspired by the body conditioning styles of pilates, yoga and ballet. Focused on good posture and the use of isometric contractions, these workouts are a fun way to work out from home and get a solid sweat sesh in.

At only $15 for a monthly subscription, and no long-term commitment, this may be one of the easiest workouts you can commit to. No need to pay an arm and a leg on trainer or class fees! Workouts range from 10 mins to a full hour, and there is a great variety of different classes to chose from (including pre & post-natal). Barre3 developer Sadie Lincoln sure makes it a simple and stress-free to work your body efficiently no matter your time-frame, fitness level or budget!

So Im giving it a shot for the month. After trying her 10 minute classes from the youtube Class Fit Sugar, I have to say that something tells me I will be feeling
a) taller
b) sorer
c) more toned & tighter
d) stronger  
by the end of the month. And I don’t think I’ll be complaining about that… 

Have fun trying this one out! There is a reason barre classes are all the rage right now, so check it out for yourself without breaking the bank.
