Home Workout Schedule – May

Using two dumbbells, start with both arms by your sides palms facing out. Curl up towards bicep then back down.

Beginning (my grandma on the left) – Place both hands on each dumbbell or on the ground in a triangle position with the weights. Kneel on both knees, bend arms and drive chest towards the ground as far as you can.

Intermediate (my mom in the middle) – Place both hands on each dumbbell or on the ground in a triangle position with the weights. Do one push up on knees and one regular push up.

Advanced (me on the right) – Place both hands on each dumbbell or on the ground in a triangle position with the weights and perform push-ups on your toes.

Using one dumbbell, bend over with your back straight and lift your elbow back to 90 degrees. Straighten it back while keeping your elbow high the whole time.

Beginning (my grandma on the left) – Sitting on a chair, place elbow on inside of knee and use a lighter weight to curl.

Intermediate (my mom in the middle) – Kneeling on one knee, place elbow on the inside of your knee and use a medium weight to curl.

Advanced (me on the right) – Hold a squat position and place elbow on inside of knee. Use a heavier weight to curl.

Using dumbbells, hold one in each hand down by your sides with your palms facing out. Curl up to 90 degrees for 7 reps, then start at the top and open halfway to 90 degrees for 7 reps, then full curl for 7 reps.

Beginning (my grandma)/Intermediate (my mom in the middle) – Lay with your back flat and hips on the ground. Hold both dumbbells straight up to the ceiling then bend at elbows and drive weight towards the forehead, then back up to starting position.

Advanced (me) – Lay with your hips up off of the floor. (Challenges core a little bit more.)

Beginning (my grandma) – Keep both feet on the ground, don’t hold a weight, and twist side to side.

Intermediate (my mom in the middle) – Hold a medium weight, feet on the ground, and twisting side to side.

Advanced (me) – Hold a heavier weight, feet off the ground, and twist side to side.

Laying on your back with legs pointed straight toward the ceiling, lower legs up/down while keeping your core engaged. Try not to arch your back.

Beginning (my grandma on the left) – Alternate dropping legs down one at a time with bent knees, place hands under bum for more support.

Intermediate (my mom in the middle) – Bend knees slightly while dropping legs down and up, place hands under bum for more support.

Advanced (me on the right) – Keep legs straight when dropping legs up and down, place hands on the ground to the side.
