Our 55+ ladies always show up so excited to work hard in class! We love watching them get stronger every class - and this exercise is always a favourite. A huge strength builder for those shoulders, try 2 sets of 12 hinged rows at home for double the strengthening fun!
START HERE (A):
Stand with your feet hip width apart, and bend your knees. Drawing your shoulder blades together and away from your ears, hold onto two dumbbells that are a comfortable weight. Keep your neck long and hold your gaze onto a spot on the floor about three feet ahead, while holding your elbows at a slight bend.
MOVEMENT: (B)
Engage your abdominal muscles and draw your elbows up and back, squeezing your shoulders together slowly. Each squeeze is one repetition, and this week, we’ll have you aiming for 2 sets of twelve. We know you’ll agree: strengthening exercises are beneficial as we age. Our The 55 class has exercises that provide the perfect challenge: if you’re in Winnipeg, come give it a try!
