Hi, I'm Keith Irace and welcome to Sexy Shoulders. Today's move is a boxing punch with a front raise. So to set the move up you're going to need a light set of weights, and you're going to set your feet apart just a little bit wider than hip distance. We're going to soften the hips, knees and ankles and I want you to bring your arms up to what we're going to call boxing guard, which is right under your chin, be careful with those weights, you're going to hold them right under your chin but not any closer than this to your face. Soften the hips, knees and ankles and start to just deliver an easy punch side to side. Down, push, down, push. Now we don't throw any energy away, so you don't do any momentum through the fist, just pull it back into your body and use your obliques to facilitate a little twist, twist, twist, twist, that's it, punch it across, let's go eight more. Eight, up, seven, six, five, four, three, two, and on. Beautiful. Plant your feet, soft hips and knees again, weights come right in front, palms face your body, upright spine and raise, and release. Good. So the only thing that's moving is your arms. Just reach. And release. You want to come up to about shoulder height, lock the core muscles in. If you can see it from the side, you do not sway in the back, right, we're just going to keep a nice, still back, pull the navel into the spine and then four more here, four and down, looks good, and three, reach it out and down, two more. Two, and down, one more, we're going to repeat the series one more time. So we come right back up to boxer guard, lock in the obliques, soften the hips, knees, ankles, push, push, push, push. Now if you want to get a little more aggressive with it, get a little deeper into the knees, hips and ankles. And reach, reach, reach, reach, reach, eight more. Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, and one. Plant your feet, standing tall. Here we go. Raise and release. Try to come just a touch higher than shoulder height. A touch higher, right there, yes, release. Reach. Release. Lock the core, really still body and down. Three more here. Three and release. Last two. Extend it out there and down. Last one and one and release. Now just give your shoulders a nice roll back, a big roll forward. Thank you for joining me today for Sexy Shoulders. I'm Keith Irace. I'll see you next time.
