From Jenny & Brigette – The SqueezeItIn.com Girls:

This exercise is so easy, effective, and popular, we made it our logo! Why stop to lift weights when you’re already lifting groceries? This multitasker puts great arms in the bag!

Holding one grocery bag in each hand (choose bags that are roughly of equal weight and aren’t too heavy, approximately 5 – 10 pounds each to start) begin with arms down at your sides and palms facing upward grasping the handles.  Bend elbows and lifts bags to your shoulders, while keeping elbows tightly to your sides.  Slowly return to the starting position.  Lift both bags at once or alternate, lifting one bag at a time.  Continue for two sets of twelve.

VARIATIONS:
Lower Slower: Lift bags as above, but lower bags SLOWLY to a 3-count of SQUEEZE-IT-IN.

Partial Curl: (See photo.) Start with arms at your sides and raise bags only halfway until arms are bent at a 90-degree angle. Slowly lower back to starting position.

Hammer Curls:  Change hand position and hold bags with palms facing inward as if holding a hammer.  Raise and lower bags with palms facing inward and thumbs pointing at shoulders.

Cardio: Every good workout must include cardio. Click here to see examples of our easy, do-anywhere cardio moves.
