...back, arms and shoulders.

In the past month, I have concentrated on my lower body. I've worked the stomach muscles and got my legs in better shape. I did not think much about my upper body until I saw a woman at the gym with toned arms. Toned arms are definitely sexy. I think it shows strength and athleticism - two things I've lost since my basketball and softball days.

I have two, five pound weights sitting around with no clue how to use them correctly. I do not want to strain myself or work the wrong muscles so they develop incorrectly. The best thing about these kind of exercises is that you can sit and watch TV while you're doing them. Selene Yeager's exercise was easy on the first try and something I can do along with my daily crunches and squats.

I also ran across this article on prevention.com about a woman who did back exercises that actually helped her firm her stomach. There are four steps to this workout, which uses an exercise ball. I found the third step difficult because it requires more balance but with practice, I'm sure I'll catch on.
