body? Put an end to being ashamed! With this full 10 Minute Upper Body Workout, you’ll be flaunting your

Dumbbell Cross Jab
Start with a warm up! This easy routine of cross-jabs will allow you to raise your heart rate, warm up your
body and prepare your upper body for an intense exercise.

in a jabbing motion.
3. Bring the arm back to the first position.
4. Repeat on the opposite side.
5. Complete 10 jabs on each side before moving on to the next exercise!

Many ladies have a hard time seeing definition in their triceps, but this move is sure to add some firmness
to this tough to tone area.
1. Raise the right arm straight in the air above your head.
2. Bend the right elbow so the hand holding the weight is behind you, nearing your right shoulder.

3. 3. Using your triceps, pull the hand with the weight back into the extended, straight in the air position.
4. Repeat this move by bending the elbow again, and then straightening the arm once more.
5. Once you have completed 10-15 reps on this side, switch to the other!

Basic Lateral Raises
Although arms are often a main focus for ladies, working out our backs is just as important! With this
simple move, you’ll be able to strengthen your upper back, adding definition and improving your posture.
1. In a standing position, lean your torso forward, keeping a soft bend in your knees.
2. Bring both hands together with weights touching and a soft bend in your elbows. Your hands should
be around knee-height.
3. In one full motion, pull the hands apart to either side of your body, bringing the weights to shoulder
height, with elbows still slightly bent.
4. Return to the first position, with weights back towards your knees.
5. Continue this move 10-15 times, or until you feel a burn in your back.

4. Alternating Front Dumbbell Raise
Shoulders are a weak area on many ladies, but that doesn’t mean it’s a hopeless case! Using a light set of
weights, follow these simple steps to build strength and add definition to the shoulders.
1. Start in a standing position with hands and weights resting comfortably around your thighs.
2. Lift the right hand and weight up so your arm is extended straight in front of you at shoulder height.
3. Return the arm back to the first position and repeat on the other side.
4. Remember to use muscle and not momentum when completing this move. Try not to swing your
arms back and forth, but instead focus on contracting muscles to create the movement.
5. Complete 10-15 times on each side.
Reverse Barbell Curl

5. No upper body workout is complete without paying some attention to the biceps.
Skip those boring curls and build up your biceps with these simple steps:
1. Start in a standing position, holding a light barbell with both hands, arms extended by your thighs.
2. Slowly bend the elbows, keeping the arms close to the body, and raise the barbell to the chest.
3. Drop the barbell to the first position and repeat 10-15 more times for an effective workout.
Don’t forget to rest in between these sets and of course, have fun!
