Lose Your Batwings

***Note, for some reason the
words are highlighted white
in this post, yet another glitch
I seem to encounter with the
new laptop.***

 I have had several people ask how can I lose my
Batwings? Below are some great exercises to
Help you with that. I want to make sure everyone 
Know this important tip. If you are working
With weights on your triceps you only want to use 
The weights once a week if you are using high
Weights, you can overdo it. If you are working
With low weights by all means do it every day.

Workouts with no weights you can definitely do every
Day. If you can’t do a high weight, start small and keep 
Going up. You want to me sore the next day but not in
Pain!

The workouts shown below you can do from home.
There are several triceps workouts you can do at
The gym with free weights and machine weights.





Plank up

This exercise doubles as a warm up and vital workout for your arms, shoulders, chest and abs. Get into push-up position, only on your forearms. Brace the abs tight and lift your hips, creating a straight line from heels to head. Push off and straighten your left arm so that you're holding yourself up with the right forearm and left palm. Straighten your right arm so the body is in a full push-up position. Lower back down to your right forearm, then left, to return to start. Do four repetitions leading with your left arm and then four leading with the right. If the full plank is too much, use a modified plank position by bending your knees.





Kneeling reverse fly
Sculpt your upper back, arms and abs with this multi-muscle move. Kneel on all fours, holding a dumbbell in your right hand. Engage abs and raise right arm out to shoulder height (elbow should only be slightly bent), palm facing down. Lower to start. Do 15 repetitions; repeat on the opposite side.







Inverted grip biceps curl and press

This double-duty combo move sculpts your shoulders and arms while also strengthening the often-overlooked muscles in your forearms and wrist. Stand with feet together holding dumbbells, palms in front of thighs. Pull abs in tight, and without moving your torso, curl the dumbbells up toward your shoulders, palms facing forward. Then extend arms overhead. Return to the starting position and do 15 repetitions.





Triceps kicker

This is the perfect back-of-the-arms sculptor. Stand with dumbbells in hand, feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent. Hinge forward from the hips until your chest is almost parallel to the floor and bend your arms so that your elbows are behind your body and the dumbbells are by your chest. Extend arms behind you, rotating palms up to ceiling. Keeping arms straight, raise arms a few inches higher. Bend elbows and return to start. Do 15 repetitions.







Chest hug
Create a more defined cleavage line and a flatter tummy with this multitasking exercise.Lie face up on the floor, with knees bent and together, feet flat on the floor. Arms should be straight out from the shoulders with a dumbbell in each hand. Keep your arms just above the ground, palms facing up. Draw your knees up into your chest, bring your arms together so they are hugging the outside of your knees, and lift your head and shoulders off the floor – yes, all at the same time. Return to start. Do 15 repetitions.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
