Upper Body workout without any equipment

I have been feeling a bit of tension in my shoulders and neck lately, because I have a lot on my mind and I need to make an important decision so I'm a little stressed.

When I saw that Fitness Blender uploaded a new workout that's designed for the upper body, I said YES, I need to do this as soon as possible.

If you're storing any aches or tension in your upper body then continue reading this post

The workout is titled "Upper Body Warm Up - Warm Up Exercises for Upper Body Workouts" it doesn't need any equipment but as the website advised "pretend as if you are hoisting a heavy weight around in each hand".

This video can be used as a warm-up before a more intense workout or can be used as the complete upper body exercise routine for the day.

The workout starts with Arm Swing Butt Kick (fun start), then Overhead Press Step Back (good for the balance).

You need to also focus on the core while doing the Shoulder Rolls + Side Step, IT Band Step & Stretch and Curl + High Knee Raise.

The Bow Pull is an amazing move I felt uncoordinated during the Halo + Tricep Extension, my favorites are Forward Bend + Reverse Fly, Close Row + Reverse Fly Combo, Warrior Jacks and 2 Big Arm Circles + Reverse.

I took a couple of seconds break during Arm Circles,  the Walkdown took a lot of energy, then I loved the Up & Over Steps and Press Jacks or Steps to finish the workout.

The recommended frequency for upper body workouts during the week varies depending on the person's goals and fitness levels. However, a general guideline is to aim for 2-3 sessions per week to effectively target and strengthen the upper body muscles. 

It's important to have sufficient rest and recovery between workouts to prevent overtraining and injury. It's also beneficial to incorporate a variety of exercises that target different muscle groups within the upper body, such as the chest, back, shoulders, and arms, to ensure balanced development. 

Remember to warm up before your workout and listen to your body. If any exercise causes discomfort or pain, stop!
