Baby "Boo" Camp: Tricep Presses with Pumpkins

Happy Halloween moms!  This holiday season, don't take a break from exercise, incorporate your decorations, or your child's craft into your exercises as we did in our Baby "Boo" Camp class this past Wednesday and Saturday.  The pumpkins may not look intimidating, but by the end of class none of the moms could look at pumpkins the same again! And neither will you.  Stay tuned, as I will post several different exercises in different post.


Tricep presses with pumpkins while squatting:

Hold pumpkin comfortably with both hands overhead, remembering to keep elbows in. 

The pumpkins (or other festive weights) should be lowered slowly until the elbow forms a ninety degrees angle,  then raise the weights slowly.

Try them out for yourself and you won't be disappointed. These were smaller than I was hoping to get (they were donated to our class, but beggars can't be choosers), and even still they added just enough extra weight through each of our sets that we felt the effect of those pumpkins still in the days that followed.
For those of you that can't make it to class, try this exercise with 3 sets of 15 repetitions each.
