Re: FIRM IT UP with debbie siebers

[Guest guest]

I'm intrigued! What are the upper body exercises without weights?

Pushups?

Curious!

hiya pink!

sorry, there are no upper body exercises in this workout... it is a lower

body blaster (i think that i said that, but ive forgotten! sorry for being

confusing, i was in a hurry when i posted).

yes, pushups are certainly an example of using body weight to work the upper

body. otherwise you are looking at punches and moves that take a lot of

visualization...lol.

for example, i did taebo advanced live volume 2 this morning (i have two

copies and i sent one to susan today -- you are gonna love it susan!!

please let me know when it gets to your place) and billy does some upper

body work at the end... first he does pushups then he does bicep curls and

another move where one lifts their arms up in the air (kinda hard to

describe) and these are all done with body weight only. if one can keep the

muscles of the upper body contracted while they do these moves, and really

visualize moving them through something thick (some instructors say to

imagine water... kathy smith says to visualize moving through peanut

butter...lol) then they can be quite effective.

Duh, of course Cola, you did say lower body, but for some reason my

third eye read " upper body " . Yikes! I'm only 36 and this is

happening ALREADY.

I won Tae Bo Live 2 I believe, on ebay. I have some of the other

live ones too and can't wait to try them but by tomorrow I will have

taught Turbo Kick 4 days in a row and really need to lay off the

kickboxing for awhile and then a friend is visiting from overseas

so I will have to exercise vicariously through you guys!
