Start this workout off by doing my Upper Body Warm Up, located in my Warm Up Collection.

This workout will strengthen, sculpt, and tone your upper body. 

This workout will have you do a single exercise, followed by a superset of the same muscle group. You got this team, let’s do it! 

Optional: Finish w/ 10-12 minutes of an incline walk, bike ride, or run.

Front Raise to Lat Raise

For this exercise, grab a pair of light/medium weights. 

Have your arms in front of your hips, palms facing inward. 

Raise your arms out to the side, and as you raise your arms, turn your palms to face out instead of facing in.
Once your arms become parallel to the floor, “micro” pulse up and down twice.
