7 Day Arm Jiggle Challenge - Day 3

So, Day 3 of the arm challenge - I had to really push myself tonight and it's only a 15 minute workout....

THEN, to make matters worse for myself, I went out after and pulled some of my garden plants out - Tomatoes, Kale, Broccoli, and cucumbers.  Those tomato plants have some serious roots!  So, anyway, I did the exercises in the following order - 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.

I realized part way through that I may be doing MORE than the 30 reps of some of these exercises.  All you moms can relate - I'm working out 1, 2, 3, 4, the laundry needs to be done, where are the hampers, 5, 6, what am I making for dinner, 7, the kids need to clean their room, 8, 9, why is that toy in here, 10, come on Suzanne you can do this.... Wait, is that 10, or my second 10, or my final 10?!  I'll do 30 more, just to make sure.

I also noted tonight that this workout is for your triceps and it does NOT include the famed (YUCK!) tricep dip!  Being that I'm short, to do the tricep dip I feel like I have to be up high to get any benefit from the tricep dip.  This makes me dislike it very much.  It seems like everyone else looks so graceful in the Body Pump class doing this on the aerobic step, while my tush is still on the ground!  And it MAY be that my tush is just a little too big to do this.....  Maybe my next "challenge" should be a tush lifting challenge......
