Exercise Directory: Jabs: Nose as Your Target

This exercise focuses on working your arms and shoulders.

STEP #1: Start by grabbing two light dumbbells ... one for each hand.

STEP #2: Next stand tall with your feet about shoulder-width apart with your toes pointing forward ... and your knees slightly bent [to avoid an over-excessive movement of your body].

STEP #3: Bend your elbows and lift the dumbbells so that they are shoulder level ... palms facing toward one another.

STEP #4: Extend your right arm/dumbbell straight out toward your nose [assuming you are looking in a mirror] while twisting your arm so that your palm is facing down toward the floor.

STEP #5: Return it to shoulder level at the same time you extend your left arm/dumbbell straight out toward your nose [once again ... assuming you are looking in a mirror] while twisting your arm so that your palm is facing down toward the floor.

STEP #6: Return your left arm/dumbbell to shoulder level at the same time you extend your right arm/dumbbell straight out toward your nose [assuming you are looking in a mirror] while twisting your arm so that your palm is facing down toward the floor.

STEP #7: Repeat this movement alternating between right and left.

STEP #8: A set includes approximately 30-40 jabs.
