Exercise for Older Women: Tone up with Tricia and Lindsay Burrows, Upper Body Strength

This week it is all about Upper Body Strength! Upper body strength programme for beginners: (CLICK SHOW MORE)

The video will show two sets of each exercise listed below. The first set will show the easier version, and the second a harder option for those who want it. Try using the easier option the first time you do the exercises. See how you feel afterwards and progress as appropriate.

Complete the prescribed number of repetitions and sets if you are able to. If it is too much, then just do what you can and work up gradually. Remember it is much better to do a smaller number and maintain good form throughout. Quality is always better than quantity!

Bicep curls - 12 repetitions, 2 sets with a short rest in between.
Tricep wall press - 12 repetitions, 2 sets with a short rest in between.
Shoulder retraction - 6 - 8 repetitions, 1 set initially and progress to two.
Lateral shoulder raise - 12 repetitions, 1 set initially and progress to two.
Straight arm push back - 12 repetitions, 2 sets with a short rest in between.

Aim to do them a minimum of twice before the next video.

Good luck and enjoy the moves!

Training sessions (which are pre-recorded) will be available on a weekly video which we’ll put out here on YouTube and in the Super Troopers group on Thursdays at 4pm.
