50 Min Full Body Workout with Dumbbells

what’s up Hazfi tribe it’s your personal trainer coach Kozak and I’m Claudia and this is a total body strength and muscle building workout this routine requires a pair of dumbbells and the weight that you choose will be completely dependent on your fitness level you’ll also want to keep a bench box or chair handy for a couple of the exercises you can follow along with me for the standard moves and you can follow me for some easier modifications if you’re ready to go let’s pump it up [Music] [Music] [Music] let’s get started with our warm up first move of the day is going to be a 1 leg hamstring circle so let’s go and put one leg out on that heel with that leg straight we’re gonna sweep our arms up and over and now let’s bend over using those hips as a hinge that lets stretch in your hamstring and calf all the way up and when you reach the top switch legs same move just alternating again feeling that stretch and your hamstrings as well as your calves also getting those shoulders stretched out as well come on big arm circles up overhead very efficient warm-up move here a little dynamic stretch for your hamstrings calves glutes lower back as well as your shoulders trying your best to keep your back straight as you bend over don’t want your back rounded on this one just because a straight back will help us really hit those hamstrings making sure to breathe throughout and again this is just the warmup so no need to go at a crazy pace here plenty of time for the work coming up let’s do this one four five four three two one and zero all right next we’re gonna loosen up that your chest shoulders and back so start with your feet shoulder width apart bend over on a 45 degree angle do some been over T so with those thumbs up and bring our arms up and straight to the side until that chest and shoulders open up nice full range of motion back stays straight all the way up all the way down again opening up your chest and shoulders on this one alright now let’s transition into a bent over I thumbs stay up but now we’re gonna arm straight up overhead biceps and up by our ears getting this full range of motion as you can and as you go through this one you’ll probably be able to get a little more on each repetition a little better on the last one then on the first one okay and lastly we’re gonna transition into a why so now not straight out to the side not straight up overhead but right in between bring those arms out to the side and up why formation again thumbs stay up just loosening up different parts of the shoulders chest bicep tendons upper back that’s lats again all gaining some mobility on this one let’s continue this one four five four three two one zero good all right we’re gonna move to the floor for the next one into a high plank position or like a push-up position also known as we’re gonna take your right foot and let’s step up by your right hand and do a multi-planar lunge so let’s take that right hand we’re gonna reach through to your left side rotating at your core and then reach up go ahead and repeat it’s a very efficient warm-up move one of my favorites mine too I’m gonna loosen up everything from your quads your hamstrings glutes your hips thoracic spine shoulders so many different body parts working on this one and make it happen again nice and controlled reaching through get that thoracic spine stretching get nice and limber for this workout coming up we’re gonna do opposite side and three two one go ahead and set that right hand down right foot back left foot up by your left hand and repeat on the opposite side now same move just going through that same sequence again nice and controlled trying your best to get full range of motion and as you come up with that hand to go ahead and look up up top at it trying to keep your back straight and a nice line I want your butt way up on this one all the way through let’s continue this one four five four three two one zero left hand down and you can come on back up alright last warm-up move a little combo move here we’re gonna do a butt kick side to side with a pull down so at the same time we’re reaching overhead pulling down with their elbows I know we’re going side to side bringing those heels to our glutes again another combo move here you can see I’m putting a lot together at the same time just for time efficiency squeezing that back back there that’s it warming up your back it’s gonna get a lot of work in at the same time loosening up those quads hamstrings and glutes you allow yourself to get your heart rate up a little bit on this one yeah not going a crazy pace but at the same time moving fast enough to feel it pulling back on down on those elbows on every rep and then extending those arms straight overhead am I supposed to feel like I’m having a shoulder workout or oh it’s coming and five four three two one zero shake them loose all warmed up ready to go alright so today’s routine is going to combine different complementary exercises into super sets for our first superset we’re going to need two different dumbbells we’re gonna do either a front reverse lunge or a front split squat so I want our feet shoulder-width apart I’m going to curl these dumbbells up into rack position and notice I’m in the split squat stance here I’m gonna step back with one leg and then I’m going to drop both knees to a 90 degree angle and step back up and I’m just gonna drop my right knee and come right back up we’re gonna do eight repetitions on each leg Ready Set and begin so throughout today’s routine it’s going to be up to you to decide which variation is right for you it’s a little more of a challenge to bring that opposite leg up every single time compared to just staying in the split squat stance you decide which variation is gonna work for you today this is number seven you have one more last one on this side eight alright switching sides continuing no downtime in between oh nice and controlled on the way down and on the way up not not a race want to make sure those muscles are engaging making sure to breathe three more breathe it in on the way down exhaling on the way up last one good alright so any time you need to switch your weight feel free to do so we’re gonna alternate that first move with a straight arm pull back so with our feet shoulder width apart then over on a 45 degree angle we’re gonna keep those arms straight as we pull those dumbbells back squeeze our back and return two arms perpendicular to the ground we’re doing 12 repetitions let’s get it going three two one begin nice and controlled especially on the way back don’t just allow those dumb books to flip back but instead control that descent we’re squeezing our lats as well as our triceps up at the top keep your head in a nice neutral position we’re doing 12 repetitions in total making sure to breathe or exhaling as we press the dumbbells back and then breathing in as the Dumbo’s come back down to our sides three more repetitions guys almost there squeeze that back every time last one right here and zero okay we all move one more of the so we’re going back today either front reversal launch or front split squat dumbbells are coming up into a rack position changing your weight if you need to and let’s go eight reps on each side and begin nice and controlled on that lowering or descent breathing in on the way down exhaling as you stand back up ideally we’re getting down till both knees hit a 90-degree angle but we’re not bouncing that back knee off the ground this is number seven you have one more to go last one on this side alright switch it up and begin right into it keep good posture shoulders stay back keep really focus on that breathing you got it one rep right into the next almost there almost done with this one two more reps here’s number seven last one and zero accident goodness gracious again switching your weight up if you need to do so right back into those straight arm pull backs twelve repetitions feet shoulder-width apart been over a 45 degree angle and let’s begin one two focus on squeezing those lats up at the top keeping those arms straight and then returning those dumbbells under control back to that perpendicular position or exhaling as we push those dumbbells back behind us keep it up almost there two more last two here we go here it is finished strong zero nice all right I’m gonna raise my weight a little bit for this next superset so am i but if you only have you know your one pair of dumbbells that’s okay no big deal just use what you had make sure you’re picking up those dumbbells with your legs especially the heavier they get the more important it is that’s right protect your back we’re gonna start with a posterior chain move feet are shoulder width apart slight bend in those knees bending over at the hips using those hips as a hinge I’m gonna reach those dumbbells all the way down to my toes and I’m actually gonna come just below my knees we’re gonna stand up straight squeeze in those glutes at the top now at the same time we’re gonna perform a shrug plus a cat phrase that’s one repetition we’re gonna repeat that 12 times let’s do it all right and begin so a slight bend in those knees as you drive those hips back keeping your back straight squeeze the gluts up at the top and then drive off the balls of your feet and performing a shrug bringing those shoulders to your ears at the same time making sure to breathe throughout don’t hold your breath depending on your flexibility and your strength level really will depend which move you choose whether you want to do the RDL where you just come halfway down or if you want to do the full stiff leg deadlift and reach all the way down to your toes this is your halfway point right here either way this move is really working your hamstrings your glutes and then at the top working those traps as well as your calves as we drive up into that cat phrase great compound move make sure to keep that back straight and your head should stay in line with your spine as you’re bending over you don’t want your head up as you do it but instead keeping that head in line straight in line with your spine it’s you more almost there feel that nice stretch in your backside protecting that back keeping it straight last one right here and up good you went heavier for that one you’re definitely gonna want to lighten the load for the next one next move is gonna be excuse me right behind you saying thank you next move is gonna be a standing low fly so this one’s for our chest we’re gonna be in a staggered stance arms are out to your side palms are up the slight bend in those elbows let’s raise those dumbbells up using our chest and then control that low face making sure to breed on every repetition we’re inhaling breathing in as the dumbbells come down and then we’re exhaling as we raise the dumbbells back up who can really fill this into my chest feeling this when your chest shoulders and maybe even a little bit of biceps but we’re trying to take those biceps out of the move halfway you really want that chest to do the majority of the lifting no pun intended on this workout breathe nice and controlled this would be much easier to just fly through this one but try your best to keep them under control you have two more that was number 10 right there finishing strong right here 11 good posture and 12 hmm burn so good you really don’t need a lot of weight for that one at least at least I don’t know you don’t at all okay so one more of each of these and this superset again using my legs I pick up my dumbbells you two feet are shoulder width apart right back into that stiff leg deadlift or RDL combo slight bend in the knees and begin on this one really should feel like you’re trying to touch that but to wall behind you as you’re bending over feeling that stretch in the back side so you don’t want to turn this one into a squat but instead making that lower back hamstrings and gluts do the work and it’s okay if you feel a burn and your lower back on this one people always associate any pain in the lower back as a bad pain but the same way that your abs burn when you’re doing an ab workout but when you’re doing a lower back exercise your lower back can burn just the same so as long as you’re keeping your back straight using proper form and using a weight that’s appropriate for your fitness level don’t be alarmed when your lower back starts to feel some burn it’s a good thing we have some good rehab lower back stretches an exercise to see your hip for you to hit it loosen it up if it gets tight yep grab a lower back stretching routine making sure to breathe in on the way down exhale on the way up one right into the next under control ream or the killer move because every rep is like three reps also when you’re going at a slower pace tempo yeah exactly and last one here we go here’s number twelve feeling that stretch last one and twelve good nice job all right setting them down moving back into that standing low dumbbell fly shake those arms loose and let’s hit these last twelve huh all right good posture arms out to the side and let’s begin nice and control on the way up and controlling the way down you know these strength training and muscle building routines really important to focus on tempo and at time under tension for your muscles I want to just race through it using momentum sometimes we could use more weight if we did so it’s not always just about load so also about making sure with those muscles to fire appropriately good keep that breathing going don’t hold your breath not many will have done this one yeah three more it’s a tough one for us too almost there let’s go last two and twelve coming up right here finish strong whew excellent all right let’s keep this party going we only need one dumbbell for the next one we’re actually gonna move to the floor we’re gonna get into a plank position and do a hammer curl I’m gonna be in a plank position from my knees and I’m gonna be in a bear plank position so I’m gonna come up off my knees and have both knees at a 90 degree angle again you decide which one is appropriate for you now with that palm facing inward we’re gonna curl the dumbbell bringing it to your shoulder and return back down trying your best keep your back straight alternating sides have twelve repetitions on each arm let’s do it let’s go three two one and begin again this is all about control not about letting that dumbbell flop down and swinging it up this one’s gonna work your biceps your forearms your legs your abs your shoulders just to maintain the position again another efficient move in today’s total body workout that’s number nine three more all the way up all the way down control it and last one right here alright I’m staying up not coming down and we’re switching sides that’s right let’s go right into it next side working that left side now trying your best to keep your shoulders Square to the ground back stays straight engaging that core making sure to breathe whatever you do do not hold your breath one right into the nest right here nine last three and last one excellent whoo good one that’s those arms take a little bit of a breather I’m gonna move into a lower body move next and I’m gonna go a little bit heavier that’s my yeah yeah you wanted easier no no no I’m gonna stick with my weights over here we’re gonna do a slow tempo squat Nasir so we’re doing a squat with a slow pace so we’re gonna have our feet shoulder-width apart little point out on those toes head up chest up first thing to break is gonna be your hips we’re going to take three seconds on the way down one two three three seconds on the way up one two three yes it’s just as brutal as it sounds um my legs everybody burning and that was one let’s do it together and begin keeping those knees out don’t allow them to collapse in nice and controlled pace yeah it would be much easier to just fly through these but again really concentrating on getting those legs to activating those men muscles and your hamstrings quadriceps and glutes to fire the slow tempo squats are great for time under tension a lot of times you don’t even need to use a lot of weight on these now form to kick in if you need to just drop your weights altogether feel free to do so nice and under control I know they’re tough but you got to be tougher learning to love that burn that is number six so halfway halfway keep it moving no break in between one two three down one two three up you got it go to that happy place it’s all mental form or not even physical anymore good keep it up remember what brought you here today to begin with what are your goals what are you working towards stay focused on it two more that’s it go that’s the trigger that’s gonna help you fight through come on let’s go last one right here finishing strong feeling the burn with you that’s it and twelve days work whoo okay you can set those down going back to that plank hammer curl need just one dumbbell choosing the weight that’s appropriate for you I’m debating if I should go up alright find that right weight for you make it this workout your own all right up into your plank position either from your knees or bear plank trying to get that rest wrists underneath the shoulders there and begin control the way up and control the way down good form making sure to breathe excellent and if you started with the bear plank and we need to switch to your knees that’s fine feel free to do so that’s number eight and we encourage you to make this workout work for you ten eleven last one right here guys finishing strong just do it boom all right opposite side now and begin oh I’m feeling this combo in my legs as well it’s especially hard when you’re trying to keep those shoulders in line with one another it definitely adds a major challenge the extra stability work control everybody control halfway point you got it has four try to keep pushing keep fighting in it together three more come on come on come on you got it you got it last one right here all right those are done we can officially cross those off to this goodness thank you moving back to those slow tempo squats probably the toughest one of the day if you ask me make sure to use your legs to pick up those dumbbells move now let’s get through these together feet shoulder-width apart weight back in the hips and let’s do it nice and slow way up and the way down these are too easy for you that means you got to increase the weight they’re too hard decrease the way it’s that simple adjust it as needed good fight him through that burn everybody inhale on the way down exhale on the way up that’s it keep in good posture driving off your heels don’t allow yourself to come up onto your toes said that weights back in your hips back in your heels that’s number seven come on let’s go that’s five right here making them count focus on that goal of yours something brought you here today so you locust on it don’t let it go whether you’re trying to lose weight gain muscle get stronger just get better at life whatever it is stay focused on it and don’t let it go last one right here you can do it pushing through her come on and zero nice you’re gonna need your chair bench or box for this next grouping we have our bench ready to go and we need one dumbbell one max one we’re gonna do an elevated high plank row so from the bench or your box or chair we’re gonna get into a high plank position one hand on the bench one hand on your dumbbell and then step back into your back is nice and straight now let’s grab that one dumbbell and we’re gonna pull back from the elbow squeezing up at the top performing 12 repetition all right let’s do it together here 12 on each arm right Claudia I’m ready let’s do it let’s do it hand begin so for this one the higher your bench or chair is the easier it will be the lower it is the harder it’ll be focus on keeping that back straight abs stay engaged and you’re pulling back from that elbow on every repetition again nice and under control keeping a slight bend in that arm that stabilizing arm at hand that’s number 11 last one right here and well switch and dumbbell switching hands and right into it 12 more begin this one’s working your lats your biceps your abs all working together to make this one work even your glutes I feel it on my glutes – for stabilization yeah your glutes as well squeeze those glutes for a little extra glute work halfway keep that shoulder square head in line with your spine and pulling back on that elbow like you have a string attached to it somebody’s pulling back on that string here’s number 11 12 excellent okay you can set your dumbbell down for that and off to the side for the next one we don’t need it we’re gonna give you a few different variations but snack some to choose from we’re gonna do it close a grip push up so I’m gonna show you a first starting one on the floor with my hands in line with my shoulders and I’m gonna be doing it from the bench here in an inverted position you decide what’s right for you we’re gonna lower our body into her upper arms become parallel to our body and then press back up we’re doing 12 reps and neither one of these are hard enough for you you can also use that bench and perform try not to kick you there perform an elevated variation you decide which one is right for you 12 reps let’s get it moving lower ourselves under control pressing under control breathe exhale when you push up that’s it driving off those palms this one’s working your chest triceps shoulders and even your abs all working together of course depending on how high your bench is is what’s going to create the difficulty here yep higher the bench the higher the bench the easier it’ll be and if you need to you also go over to the wall and do this from the wall as a wall push-up or a counter top again make this work for you 12 in total two more right here last 2 and 0 good ok those may be wall push-ups next time around so again make it work for you everybody we’re all different okay we need that one dumbbell again for that high plank row making sure to breathe getting into position here right into it and stepping back begin pull back from that elbow on every rep it’s a brutal combo between these two because they’re both forcing you just be in this high plank position with your abs and shoulders working the whole time halfway so you are not imagining things this is tough again when it gets tough you need to be tougher focus on what brought you here today pushing yourself because nobody else can do it for you that was 12 excellent hi okay hang on let’s go last 12 right here mine fighting together let’s go tribe we’re hurt into in it together remember thousands maybe even millions of us doing the same move feeling the same burn that you’re feeling fighting together none of us are special halfway we all have to work to get what we want and that’s what you’re doing right here come on finishing strong everybody two more last two of these let’s go and zero set that Dumbo down to the side you know what time it is bitch Close Grip push-up time and I’m gonna show you how to do it from the wall fine by me just get it done don’t stop don’t hit that pause boy all right again having your hands in line with your chest hands underneath your shoulders and begin begin breathing in on the way down breathing out on the way up ABS stay tight you don’t want your butt up in the air if you are doing the wall pushup the further back your feet are the harder will be the closer to the wall your feet are the easier will be that’s right come on keep grinding keep workin you’re almost there last three you got this you got this come on don’t quit don’t quit last one right here ah excellent job goodness you could move your chair bench or box out of the way we don’t need it anymore but we do need two dumbbells for the next one we’re gonna work on those arms okay we have a slow tempo bicep curl up next so with those palms facing forward elbows are tucked in we’re gonna do a slow tempo one two three on the way up and then a one two three on the way down depending on how much your arms have left it might not take too much weight on this one yes that’s true under control and here we go twelve repetitions in total not racing through it you gotta take that full 12 3 seconds on the way up and full three seconds on the way down the acid be so much easier to just pump through these but again we’re aiming for that time under tension we’re not aiming for what’s the easiest we’re aiming for what’s the most effective that’s right we don’t do what’s easiest no definitely not you’re the hospital you’re the pig that’s it and your time is valuable and we want you to get the most return on that time which means doing things in the most efficient manner manner that’s gonna get you the best result this is your half way rep right here nice and under control yes don’t let those elbows flare out nice and tight close to the body and don’t stop when it hurts we’re gonna stop when we’re done keep grinding through it one rep into the next you got it come on go to that happy place think about anything else other than how bad your biceps are burning think about how good it’s gonna feel in this workout it’s all done and you can cross it off your list ten last to make it count right here right here right here almost there 11 get in there and let’s do it last one hitting it together nice and slow oh that’s brutal we like it though and zero okay we can set those down a couple different variations for you on the next one mm-hmm so on this one you can either just use your arms as body weight or a very light dumbbell or even a water bottle I’m gonna just use a three pound pair of dumbbells I got a couple of two pounders here we’re gonna do I’m gonna do an air squat plus iron cross and I’m actually gonna do a wall sit with the Iron Cross we’re just gonna hold it for 30 seconds this is an isometric total body move okay here we go 30 seconds 3 2 1 begin weight back in your hips good posture on this one you know we’re just gonna hold those dumbbells or just you arms out to the side maybe sure if you’re either version that you’re keeping those knees out you’re not allowing them to fold in and again we talked about happy place just fighting through that burn you got it you’re stronger than that burn let’s go right here it’s all mental prove to yourself how tough you are today I want you to do more and achieve more than you thought you were capable of achieving and if you need to drop those dumbbells do it but don’t give up that’s right hang on hang tough don’t hit that pause button we’re almost there let’s go let’s go four five four three two one zero excellent coach cozy that’s impressive oh well thank you hey I’ve been practicing that depth and that flexibility my goodness hey didn’t come overnight all right we’re going back to those curls okay we need your two dumbbells up in the way I think I think she’s gonna push it this time Oh all right pushing the pace I picked him up and I immediately regretted that okay let’s try this okay here we go you can do it Claudia palms are up let’s do it one two three and reverse it one two three you know if you start with the weight that ends up being too heavy for you that’s right do not correct it drop it and change it up that’s why it’s always nice to have multiple different dumbbells to choose from you know different exercises you’re gonna have a different strength level that’s right that’s why I went straight to the wall push-ups for those Close Grip making this workout work for you and you notice I use those adjustable PowerBlock dumbbells for a lot of the workout just makes it easier to have multiple variations readily accessible if you’re interested in a pair I do have the link in the video description making sure to breathe in on the way down breathing out on the way up that was you this is your half way rep six more six down six To Go last thing for the biceps for the day they get through this they’re all done come on is all they got to do right here you can do this you’ve made it this far you’re gonna make it to the end yes you

start with a waterfall which is groomed for our wrists biceps bicep tendons so with that arm and tight to your side palms straight up opposite hand let’s grab those fingertips and at the same time when I pull those fingertips down as I slowly bring my elbow up pull back on those fingertips feeling that stretch and then extend the arm down and just hold our wrist got a lot of working today just supporting herself in those high plank positions yes and they get a lot of work every day from things like driving texting computer wear computer work so it’s important that we take care of them we’re just gonna hold this in a static stretch for five four three two one zero shake it loose let’s move on to that opposite side now again pulling back on the fingertips as we slowly bring that elbow up into a waterfall and then extend the arms straight down and hold and on any of these static stretches we do it’s always best to stretch it and bring it to about eighty five ninety percent of what you’re capable of we want to feel good stretch we don’t want to feel pain no pain no pain let’s hold it for five four three two one zero alright next we’re going to take care of those shoulders a little bit we’re gonna move into an upright external rotation so good posture your shoulders are back let’s bring those arms out to our side elbows out of 90 all around let’s rotate and bring the hands back and then bring the hands forward until the lower arm is parallel to the ground we’re gonna go back and forth between these two every time try to stretch those hands just a little further back then you got in the last time this is an overall great shoulder stretch great for your posture too great for your posture so if you spend a lot of time in the car hunched over at a desk alright on this last one I want you to bring those hands back and now we’re just gonna hold them back just keep pulling those hands back like somebody’s back there behind you pulling back on your hands it’s also a great one for those rotator cuffs keeping good posture pulling back pulling back I know it’s burning after that workout my heart too and let’s just hold for five four three two one zero well shake them loose shoulders needed that and we’re gonna move to the floor for the next one we’re going to go into a sprinter quad stretch we have a couple different variations you choose which one’s right for you one leg is out straight let’s pull one foot back easiest ways to have that foot out to the side and then just gently lean back just a little bit the more you lean back the harder it’s gonna be I mean even a little harder is to tuck that foot underneath like Klaudia will show you and then lean back you decide which variation is right for you depending on your flexibility level what kind of activity you’ve been doing lately the intensity of the workout a lot of different varying factors but just remember we’re trying to get to about 85 90 % want to feel good stretch but not trying to go too crazy nice big deep breaths here focus on bringing that heart rate down nice and slowly me for a strength training workout we definitely got that heart rate up today we sure did that’s so actually one thing I love about strength training is that you can bring your heart rate up as if you were doing a cardio workout sometimes if you do it right and especially if you’re doing a lot of compound moves and keep the pace up let’s switch sides in three two one zero come on up alternate legs hit that other side and then lean back and again depending on your flexibility level one may be a little looser or tighter than the other so you don’t do not be alarmed again we hit the quads from all different angles today so they definitely could use a little bit of recovery again nice big deep breaths here and we’re holding this one for five four three two one zero coming on back up we’re gonna flip over onto all fours our hands and our knees and we’re gonna try to get that upper body parallel to the ground we’re gonna do a little yoga inspired move next we’re into a cat cow let’s go ahead and start with the cat so we’re gonna pull up from our middle or back bring in our chin into our chest I want you to pull up on that mid-back like somebody has a string attached to it they’re pulling straight up and then let’s reverse it now bringing that abdomen to the floor as you bring your head back also bring those gluts back and that chin up and slowly reverse and as you go through it I want you to really feel the independent moves of each vertebrae moving into place pulling from that upper back and then one more time bringing that abdomen to the floor as you bring those shoulders back head up excellent okay we’re gonna go right from this into a downward dog position so let’s come up onto both feet and we’re trying to get those feet as close as you can to your hands while at the same time keeping those heels down shoulders are relaxed pulling those shoulders back and pulling those gluts back like somebody is grabbing onto your hips and they’re pulling your hips backwards for a little extra stretch you can walk it out right to left or you can just keep both feet down and again we’re trying our best to drive those heels of the ground and you’ll feel that stretch in your calves hamstrings glutes also in your shoulders as you pull your chest for or chest back and hips back nice big deep breaths from here don’t hold your breath okay now we’re gonna transition into an upward facing dog so hips come down to the ground chest up shoulders back head up chin up and go ahead and squeeze those glutes when you’re down in the bottom position whoa good stretch to the back in the ABS there oh yeah oh yeah we’re liking it feels good especially that hard work today taking a second here to be proud of what you’ve achieved nice big deep breaths coach cho’s excellent in his Midwest oh yeah fly it slips out every once in a while okay and to the knees we go moving into a child’s pose so now I want you to sit back relax those shoulders head comes down we’re sitting back onto our heels the best that we can and we’re relaxing the shoulders feeling a good stretch arms are extended straight up biceps by our ears and this is just an opportunity here for you to take a second be proud of what you’ve achieved today no matter what the rest of your day
