Exercise OF The Week

The Iron Cross

Photobucket

Instructions:

1. To perform this movement, use only light weights.
2. Assume the starting position of good posture with shoulders back and your chest out.
3. Hold weights in both hands and push your hips back to bring your thighs parallel to the ground. Raise your arms to parallel as well.
4. Hold briefly in this position and then stand up while simultaneously moving your arms out to the sides and still parallel to the ground.
5. Reverse movement to return to the start position.

Perform 3 sets of 8-10 reps of a weight that is heavy enough to challenge you without compromising your form. Rest 1 minute between sets.
