Upper body strength with slow tempo reps and cardio circuits, using a range of weights to build time under tension.
Day 2 of the Level Up with Tasha 5 Day Challenge also works as a standalone session. Slowing down the lowering phase of each move builds time under tension, with long 60-second work intervals and cardio circuits mixed in. Bring a few different weights to find your range; the video runs about 43 minutes.

Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
Exercisers with some lifting experience who want a strength-focused upper body session and have a few weights at home.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal without weights or if you have never lifted before, as the long work intervals and slow tempos are demanding.
Key Benefits
Builds upper body strength and muscle with slow, controlled lowering phases, while the cardio circuits keep your heart rate up.
Things to Keep in Mind
Aim for a weight around 60 to 70 percent of your max, keep the lowering slow and controlled, and look after your shoulders and wrists.
