Swimsuit season is just around the corner, so I decided to whip out the ol’ bikini top yesterday and see what was what. These arms, shoulders, and back haven’t seen the sun for months and months and months, so it’s been easy to neglect them in my workouts. But no more!
Christine Khuri, fitness expert at GymRa (an online personal trainer that customizes workouts to the specs—and body parts!—that you want), was kind enough to put together these three intense moves to help get those little bulges that sometimes spill out around bras and swimsuits under control.
Leg Lifts with Feet Together
Step 1: Lie on the ball with a dumbbell in each hand, such that your arms are lightly touching the ball. Keep your feet together, squeeze your buns, and raise your feet. Your body should form a straight line.
Step 2. Bending your elbows, squeeze your glutes simultaneously. Raise your legs to 45 degrees and spread them apart to make a V. Pause on top.
Step 3. Keep squeezing your buns slowly, then lower them to starting position while straightening your arms. Do three times with three 60-second rests between sets.
Row
Step 1: Lie on the ball with a dumbbell in each hand. Your chest and stomach should be on the ball, your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, and your body at a 30-degree angle.
Step 2: Tighten your abs and flex your legs. Raise your elbows straight up to form a 90-degree angle with your arms. Pause on top.
Step 3: Slowly lower your arms down to starting position while maintaining your flexed legs and tight abs. Do three times with three 60-second rests between the sets.
Side-Rear Fly
Step 1: Hold a dumbbell face down with your hand. Lie on the ball, supporting yourself with your other hand, feet shoulder wide, and lock your other elbow.
Step 2: Raise your arm so it is in line with your shoulders. Pause on top.
Step 3: Lower your arm slowly to starting position. Alternate. Do two times with no rest between sets.
