Hey!  We are going to burn out our arm muscles in this challenge!  Reading through it might not sound super hard, but your arms should feel incredibly fatigued at the end of the workout.  You can add weights if you want to for an extra challenge.  I am going to use 10 pound dumbbells.  Feel free to choose your own weight or no weights at all.  If you don't have dumbbells, grab a water bottle or something else you have laying around your house for weights.  Enjoy!   20 Bicep Curls (each arm) 20 Tricep Dips 20 Hammer Curls 20...
