Make sure to keep your shoulders still and just bend at your elbows. Squeeze at the top and return to the starting position. Try doing 2 sets with 10-12 repetitions.

Chef Meg's Zucchini Muffins
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

These muffins are very filling!

The whole wheat flour makes for a dense muffin, which I like. You only need to eat one! If you want a lighter muffin try using whole wheat pastry flour, which is more finely ground and available in the bulk bins at larger grocery stores.
