I have an upper body workout to share with you today. I have been trying up my strength training a little bit lately because it seems like a lot of my workouts over the last few months have been quick three mile runs and yoga practices. It’s hard for me to get to the gym sometimes for my own workout and I’ve been missing the strength work. I love it so much!
I was feeling sore from doing a lot of back squats yesterday so I lifted upper body today. The workout I did was quick, simple and effective (jello arms afterwards!) so I thought I would share it with you.
Upper Body Super Set Workout
This is a superset workout. You can read all about supersetting and find a total body dumbbell superset workout in this post. Usually I superset opposing muscle groups but today I decided to stay in one muscle group for the whole superset.
Take chest for example, you would do 15 flies, 15 push ups and then immediately repeat 15 flies and 15 push ups.
THE BURN! This workout was challenging for me and definitely fatigued each muscle group as I went. You can control the intensity by the weight you select for the movements so it’s accessible for all levels. This workout took me a little less than 30 minutes.
Let me know if you have questions about the workout or any of the movements. I am happy to answer!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
