Video: Grab-a-Gallon
SqueezeItIn.com GirlsWhy not make the most of the heaviest items you buy at the grocery store and get great arms by the gallon with this two-in-one move?
Hold a gallon of milk, juice, or detergent down at your side. Slowly raise the gallon up and bring it toward your shoulder. Slowly lower it back to starting position. Continue this exercise for at least 2 sets of 12 on each arm.
Variation: Tricep Press
Clutching the gallon, keep hand by your side and bend your elbow. Keeping elbow bent extend the gallon straight back. Return to starting position. Keep this movement slow and controlled, focusing on using the tricep muscle to bring the gallon back and forth, not the momentum of the weight. Continue this exercise for 2 sets of 12 on each arm.
Grab-a-Gallon is one of six exercises featured on our new Grocery Girls Totes. Available in black and sand, this durable shopping tote is 100% recyclable and features a Clip ‘n Carry Exercise Card with descriptions of the exercises you can tuck in your bag or share with a friend.
