Home Upper Body Workout (HIIT!)

You’re not always going to have a gym to go to. In fact, you may not even be subscribed to a gym right now! It’s important to have your own personal arsenal of home workouts and exercises. This is a great workout for everybody and anybody! Some people (women especially) choose to ignore strengthening their upper body. And why? We should keep our whole body strong! For this workout, all you need is a pair of light weights and a resistance band. Let’s do it. 

• Boxing (with 5lb weights) for 1 min

• Biceps Curls (with whichever weight you can do) for 1 min
• Triceps Extensions (with whichever weight you can do) for 1 min
• Boxing for 1 min
• Rear Delt Flyes for 1 min
• Shoulder Press (with whatever weight you can do) for 1 min
• Boxing for 1 min
• Push-ups for 1 min

• Dips for 1 min
• Boxing for 1 min
• Face pulls for 1 min
• Reverse Curls (with whatever weight you can do) for 1 min

Now take a break for crying out loud! Our next and final “set” is going to be faster pace, shorter time, and increased intensity. Try going with some heavier weights than before since you will be doing it for half the time.

• Biceps Curls for 30s
• Jumping Jacks for 1 min
• Triceps Extensions for 30s

And that, my friends, is a great upper body workout for your muscles and your heart! Jamie and I were sweating and aching by the end of it. This particular upper body workout took us around 40 minutes in total, but you can trim things down or buff them up how you’d like. Make sure you have a reliable timer nearby to count each segment. Try to push yourself through each part even though your muscles are screaming at you. Fight til the end! Do this upper body home workout to stay hungry and fit!
