Welcome to day 2 of the 5 day 1 hour at home workout series!

Second in the series is upper body workout and upper abs workout combined. This at home workout will target your shoulders, arms, chest, back, core and upper abs!

You will need a mat or elbow friendly surface and a pair of dumbbells (I’m using 8kg for your reference).

The exercises are performed for 50 seconds each with 10 seconds to get ready for the next exercise. We will be performing each full set 3 times with 2 x 1 minute full rest period after 1st and 2nd set. There isn’t a lot of rest, 10 seconds to be exact between each exercise in the sets, so this makes the upper body work harder. Just bear this in mind when selecting a weight. You can use water bottles also!

As with all follow along workouts, please warm up fully prior for at least 5 minutes to prepare body for work ahead.

I have not put alternatives up due to the fact there is no jumping or high impact movements but I would ask that simply change an exercise to how you like. For example, the push ups, simply drop to knees and keep going! Or with shoulder press, just lower the weights to reset and go when you are ready! I found that push ups very difficult as my arms were very tired and I simply stopped, took a moment and retried!

Tomorrow’s workout is hamstrings, glutes and lower abs and you will need a mat and sturdy chair for Bulgarians lunges!

I’m sure you will feel accomplished after this workout!!!

I look forward to hearing how you get on!

Enjoy!!!
