Hey babe, summer is coming and I bet you want to look your best. That’s why I made this lean upper body workout video. I know a lot of women struggle with underarm fat, back fat and slouched shoulders. I had the same issues and working out the muscles in my upper body really helped me out. The stronger your muscles get, the better you look in your summer outfits. Your posture will also change for the better. This lean upper body workout will help you get those results, so let’s go!
First things first: Make sure you check with a trainer in the gym if these exercises are right for you. Don’t forget to keep an eye on your form for the best results, safety first! Now that we have that covered, I can tell you more about this workout. I know women tend to not work on their upper bodies, because they are afraid to look too beefed up. There is nothing wrong with that look by the way. But if you want less fat and a little more definition, this is the way to go!
I used a barbell without any extra weight. I also used a 5 kg plate and 2 kg dumbbells. My upper body isn’t as strong as I would like it to be yet. So you can use more weight if you like. I opted for less weight, more reps and sets on a higher tempo. This gets my heartrate up and it makes me sweat, yeah! The stronger I get, the more weight I use to add some more muscle for definition. At the moment I’m working on weight loss and toning up my upper body. That’s why I’m using light weights and more reps on a higher tempo instead. Shaping up is my priority at the moment.
