It’s Monday, time to MOVE IT! If you over-indulged a bit for yesterday’s holiday, just get those walking or running shoes and take Fido out for a fun walk and add this shoulder-toning exercise along the way! These shoulder push ups will work your shoulders, back, and arms. Start with 1 set of 5 reps and progress to 10 reps or more as you get stronger! If you can do 12 of these easily, it’s time to take it to single-leg and add an extra set! Start in a pike position (top photo), up on your toes, with your hands
