Mornin!  As long as you’re most likely laying there in bed, looking at your phone reading this, we have an idea for ya.  Turn it horizontal….play the video and get moving!  If you’ve got a weighted bar, all the better…if not, find a broom, mop handle, clothes pole (are those even a thing any more?) and let’s get to it!  Fit and Healthy With Becky is brought to you by Trinity Health. 

 

The weighted bar is a great way to add some balance and resistance to your workout.  Becky is using a 12 pound one today, they come in a variety of different weights.  As you work your way through the video, remember it’s up to you to do the workout 3-4 times through.  What you’ll find with the weighted bar is that the resistance and balance it brings can isolate muscles and muscle groups in ways that free weights, operating in independent hands can’t.  It really is a highly beneficial tool, especially when it gets in to some of the wider moves of the entire upper body and arms.  Becky makes it look easy, but come tomorrow, you’ll notice the benefits paying off.
