Upper body strength day: two four-round dumbbell circuits for arms, chest and back, with warm-up and cool-down, on a mat.

Day 57 of HR12WEEK 5.0 is the last workout in the series with four sets. After a warm-up, two circuits of 40 seconds on and 20 off, four rounds each, take you through curls, presses, skull crushers, rows and bear planks, aiming for 8 to 10 reps with heavier weights. A cool-down closes the 42-minute video.

🏋️ Dumbbells🧘 Mat

Who Is It For?

Anyone with a mat and a few dumbbells who wants a structured upper body strength session, whether or not you follow the plan.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal without dumbbells or if wrists and shoulders are sore, as push-ups, planks and presses load those joints.

Key Benefits

Builds lean muscle and strength in the arms, chest and back through repeated four-round circuits that keep you in the zone.

Things to Keep in Mind

Use weights that let you hit 8 to 10 clean reps, keep your core braced in plank moves and ease off if wrists, elbows or shoulders hurt.
