Who doesn’t want lean sexy arms and a slim midsection in no time? You can achieve both in just 15 minutes using just the cable machine. Just kick the men off and have some fun ladies.
Working your entire upper body in standing position is highly effective for activating all your core muscles. Using heavier weights combined with working one arm at a time, takes this to entirely different level.
Who said you couldn’t do more in less time?
INSTRUCTIONS
Do these exercises in order, doing six repetitions on each arm. Choose a weight that allows you to complete each exercise with perfect form. Rest for a little as possible between exercises and for 60 seconds at the end of each circuit. Repeat the circuit twice for a total of three rounds.
Exercise One- Straight Arm Pull down
Stand, facing the weight stack and adjust the height of the handle so your right hand is waist height, with your arm straight. Take a step back with your right leg. Pull the handle to your right hip and return to starting position. That’s one rep. Do 6 repetitions and repeat on the other side.
