With everything you’ve got going on, we know that it’s not always feasible to hit up the gym every day. That’s why the next time you blow-dry, you should try this trick: wear wrist weights. Yep, it’s the ultimate multi-tasker, and there’s no better way to squeeze in a quick strength sesh at home. (For more muscle-toning moves, pick up Women’s Health’s Lift to Get Lean!)
The key: Just make sure your weights are three pounds or less. “From a safety perspective, weights greater than three pounds are generally not recommended, as they may place undue stress on arm and shoulder muscles and the wrist and elbow joints,” says Jessica Matthews, an associate kinesiology faculty member at MiraCosta College and an American Council on Exercise-certified health coach.
