Total Upper Body Strength Circuit Workout
This is a resistance workout that is a full upper body workout, and depending upon the weight you use, it can be quite challenging. It utilizes supersets to work three different upper body parts, without any break. After doing each set of exercises, you take a 30 second break and repeat 2 more times. Each set should be a total of 6 minutes from start to finish.
It hits all five upper body groups, bi's, tri's, back, chest, and shoulders, and each muscle group is worked for three sets of three different exercises. It is a great way to make the most of your workout time.
I have included a video of each set, so you can see exactly how to transition from one set to the next. It's important to transition as smoothly as possible, so you don't waste time during your workout. Having your weights out and available will help you move quickly between exercises. I have to admit, I am not used to talking, taping and doing the exercises, so there was a learning curve and the transitions were not as fast as I hope you will be able to do them. Have patience with me!
