a couple more alternative approaches
The Classical Stretch tv series had several segments that worked the upper body and similar segments are probably on her retail dvds.
JB Bern's Freedom Exercise had upper body isometrics (Back, Chest, Arms). The creator of Heavy Hands Dr. Schwartz has an interesting panaerobics concept online http://www.panaerobics.com/iso/ Barb S who actually prefers isometics and bands to free weights

I posted about this on another thread - not a video, but an excellent upper-body/core exercise. The book I found it in called it a "Chinese pushup"
Basically you start out in a toe (guy) pushup position, but with your arms bent and your forearms on the floor, palms on the floor. So your weight is on your toes, and on your forearms. You hold that position for 60 seconds. Then you put one arm along your side and balance on your other arm and toes for 30 seconds. Then you switch arms. Then you put both forearms back on the floor, and first raise one leg off the floor, balancing on both forearms and one leg, then switch legs. Then return to the starting position for 60 seconds. It's challenging and works "core muscles" you don't even realize you have. |
