TRAVEL INSURANCE

Target your shoulders and

abs in one move: think of this

as a beach-body cocktail.

Stand with your feet on the

band, holding each end. Keep

your back straight and your

glutes tense (A). Squeeze

your shoulders to raise your

arms until they are parallel to

the floor (B). Tense your abs

to stay solid. Release slowly

and return to the start.

BANDED BICEPS CURL

12 REPS

You knew it was coming –

you hoped, even. And we

dare not disappoint. Stand

on the band with your feet at

shoulder width. Grab each

side of the band (A). Keeping

your elbows close, curl the

band to shoulder height (B).

Squeeze your biceps for

a moment, before gently

lowering. Then administer

sunglasses. And smile.

You can improvise here. With

your feet in front of you, set up

on a box (a chair will do) – or, if

you’re less confident about your

triceps, a step or the side of

your bed. Start with your arms

locked out and your shoulders

set down (A). Drive your elbows

back to lower yourself until you

feel a stretch in your shoulders

(B). Push back up. Rest in the

starting position if you need to.
