Exercise Challenge: Upright Row with mommymuscle® bar

Are you enjoying those advent calendar goodies, and all the other holiday treats like I am  so many people are? :)  Its that time of year with decadent foods, and sweet treats everywhere you look.  Not to mention it is freezing cold outside, and the motivation to get out and exercise plummets. I know.  But don't let this be you!
 Here is an exercise StrollerFit moms are doing (inside) today, and I challenge you to incorporate it into your exercise routine today as well. These pictures were taken a month ago before we took our exercises into a nice warm gym.  You can do these in the comfort of your own home as well (along with all the other exercises I post).

Upright Row 
(Shoulder Girdle)
Stand on tube with both feet.  Cross tube and grab opposite handles.  Lift arms to make a “V” around the face.  Elbows lead, wrists stay straight, and then  “Zip the Jacket.”



Remember to keep your shoulders back, and elbows up! 





*added challenge, pulse at top
*another added challenge, lift to a two count
Do 2 sets of 10-12 reps
