SHRUGS
Your trapezius muscles (called "traps") elevate and support your shoulder girdle (i.e., pull your shoulders toward your ears). Simply hold a bar in front of you and "shrug" your shoulders straight upwards.

You don't need to belong to a gym to get strong; you just need the time to fit in a little strength training. I created a full-body circuit workout that takes about 20 minutes, fits in your living room, and only requires a set of dumbbells. If you don't have hand weights, this workout will still strengthen and tone you all over.

Dear Diary,
For my birthday this year, my daughter (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me.
Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Belinda, who identified herself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.

Week 18, time sure is flying, isn't it? I just read through some of our past posts - we sure have tried a huge variety of moves. Hope you have enjoyed them, or if you haven't, I hope they at least inspired you to maybe try something new in your fitness routine, or start a fitness routine.

No real exercise since last friday as I was giving my bod a chance to get rid of the cold/flu/alergies or whatever knocked me out last week.
Squats, pull ups, swiss ball hamstring curls (ouch), dumbbell curl and press. 1 hour.
