NYC fitness expert Jennifer Cassetty is here with one of her Dorm Room Toner exercises. Check back all this week for more, until you have the entire 4-move workout!
The Move: Wall Angels
This exercise strengthens your upper back and shoulders—so you can carry all those heavy books!
A. Strike a "chair pose" against the wall (spine touching wall
from shoulders to your hips) and extend your arms above your head. This
is your starting position.
B. While your back is against the wall, bring your arms down to
shoulder level. Hold it for one second and then bring your arms back
over your head. Repeat like you are making a snow angel on the wall.
A few tips to keep in mind:
- Your legs should remain still in the chair pose.
- To work your core, suck in your abs.
- Your goal (for fastest results!) is to do three sets of 25 repetitions, three times a week.
