If you recall, a few months ago during our move into our new home, I fell down the only step in our house and broke my ankle. What I didn’t tell you about this injury was how embarrassing the next few months of recovery would be…
Why was it so embarrassing???
Because my upper body strength was so weak! Getting out of the tub was impossible and I had to finally break down and ask my NEW hub to help lift my fat arse out that first morning. I couldn’t even use the crutches to get around as my arms were way too sore from using them just one day. I eventually had to rent an ankle scooter to get around. TOTALLY embarrassing!
I never realized, until I was put into the position with a broken ankle, just how much I’d let my upper body strength go. I looked in the mirror and saw my batwing arms flap back and forth that night and knew I had to take some action right away! š
That’s when I remembered about Coach Abbey who ran an Amazing Arms Challenge that I had enrolled in two years ago. I started doing the exercises again day by day and low and behold my upper body strength got much stronger. And YES, I can now lift myself up now out of the bathtub (without using my legs). I have strong arms!!! š
If you want to tone your arms this summer and can spare just 10 minutes a day then I want to encourage you to JOIN Coach Abby and the Trainer In Your Back PocketĀ® Tribe for a 20-day Amazing Arms Challenge!
