This Radiant Workout is a real arm killer but it will help sculpt and give you beautiful arms! It is made up of 2 parts and both are tabata intervals. The first is alternating doing diagonal woodchops from left to right and the 2nd are 2 exercises on the dip station – oblique knee raises – to give you gorgeous abs to go with those arms!, and reverse push ups, which mostly target your lats and also give you a great shape! All that in only 8 minutes!!

Workout Breakdown
This workout has 2 parts and each is 4 minutes. Set your timer for 8 rounds of 10 seconds rest and 20 seconds work.
Part 1
Alternate doing these exercises 4 times each:
Diagonal Woodchops with Ugi– left
Diagonal Woodchops with Ugi – right
Part 2
Alternate doing these exercises 4 times each:
Oblique Knee Raises on Dip station
Reverse Push ups
note: I used my Ugi ball for the 1st part, but you can use any weighted object for this one. Make sure to bend your knees and use your body and not put pressure on your back when twisting through the woodchops – the movement is a full body one.

Exercise Descriptions
Stand with legs shoulder width apart and hold Ugi up above one shoulder, swing Ugi down to opposite side of the body below hip area, bring back up and repeat.
Stand in middle of dip station and grasp handles, then straighten arms lifting yourself up off the floor, bend legs at an angle and bring up knees towards your chest using your oblique (side ab) muscles, then lower legs back down to standing. This is one rep.
Sitting on ground just in front of dip station, reach up and grab handles, bend legs or stretch out legs in front of you. The further legs are out, the harder pulling yourself is so bend your legs to make it easier to pull yourself up and straighten legs out for more of a challenge. Then pull yourself up using your lats (back muscles just below shoulders) and lower yourself back down. Continue pulling yourself up and lowering for as many reps as you can in time or for number of reps indicated.
Have a great workout!!
