Get guns fast with moves from the head trainer at St. Charles’ Norris Rec Center

By Andrea Masoncup

If you run, cycle, or hike, your legs and lungs are accustomed to getting a good workout, but what about your upper body? Strong arms help hold you up while on the bike, and they help you power up hills, whether you’re running or walking. If your upper body has largely been ignored, the good news is it doesn’t take long to firm things up.

GOAL Increase upper-body strength, tone and define arms

PLAN Perform 2 to 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions of each exercise

EQUIPMENT Body weight, dumbbells, and exercise tubes
