Who Is It For?

Anyone with light and medium dumbbells who wants a full upper body strength session with a clear, circuit-based structure.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal without dumbbells or if your shoulders or wrists are sore, since the circuits include raises, push-ups and planks.

Key Benefits

Builds strength in the shoulders, arms, chest and back in one timed session that covers the whole upper body.

Things to Keep in Mind

Pick weights that let you control raises and flies, and ease off the push-ups and planks if your wrists or shoulders feel strained.
