Tabletop

Targets: Triceps, core, and legs.

1. Start seated with knees bent, palms flat on floor behind you, and fingertips facing in.

2. Press through palms and feet to raise body into tabletop position from head to hips, keeping eyes up at the ceiling.

3. Brace the core, keeping hips lifted.

4. Hold for 30-60 seconds and repeat 3 times.

"Tank top-ready arms are always in season, but especially come summer! Using your triceps to lift up into a tabletop position will sculpt the back of the arms — as well as using your core to hold the position. Not an easy task but worth the results!"
