5 ARM SWING

-

Stand with feet flat on floor, hip to shoulder width apart, toes forward, knees slightly bent. Hold dumbbell with both hands and straighten arms out in front of you. Slightly flex hips and gently swing arms back between legs until torso is parallel to floor. Next, swing arms forward and up towards eye level by extending the hips and knees, elbows extended and back neutral. (Use your momentum to swing arms up.) Repeat or begin cool down.

Circuit training can burn 20-30 per cent more kilojoules than cardio or weights alone and provides improved blood glucose, insulin sensitivit­y, blood pressure and cholestero­l in people with diabetes.
