Work Those Pulling Muscles

Build strength for pulling on the handlebars on steep climbs or for a killer breast-stroke without leaving your desk.

Stand up, push your chair back out of the way, bend forward at your waist and lean on your desk with your left hand. Hold a hefty book in your right hand with your arm extended and hanging straight down. Pull the book up so it touches your side just above your waist then lower it slowly. Breathe in as you raise the weight, exhale as it lowers. Repeat 15–20 times, then switch arms.

Got Something More Advanced?
Add weight by using a light dumbbell. Do 20 reps with each arm then do one or two more sets.
