7 day arm challenge.

Physical, , , , , ,

In keeping with this post, I took to Pinterest to come up with a fun exercise challenge to do this week. Along with my normal work-outs (yoga, hikes, dance), I’m going to do the following weight work every day attempting to increase the reps each day. IDK if I’ll be giving out tickets to the gun show in the span of just 7 days but it should be fun! Feel free to join me if you’d like to work your arms this week.
