Get Bigger, Faster, and Stronger with this Upper Body Workout Circuit

Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing an Upper Body Workout Circuit. This is a great workout to build lean muscle mass and strength.

Cardio…

For today’s cardio, we will be doing a 1 mile jog on the treadmill for time. This is a great way to get your heart rate up and the blood flowing. If it is nice outside, feel free to substitute this with a 1 mile run outside instead. 

Circuit…

For our circuit today we are going to be focusing on upper body to get a nice pump today. This is a 13 exercise workout broken out into 3 circuits, which we will do 5 or 4 times. We will do each exercise for a desired amount of reps before moving onto the next. After each round take about a 30 second break. The first circuit will be chest and the next 2 will be back and shoulders.
 

Stretch

To end the workout, stretch out those muscles to prevent soreness and injury. Recovery is the most important part after working out, so make sure to take care of your body and it will take care of you. Stretch it out for a total of 10 – 15 minutes depending on how much time you have.
