Amped Up Upper Body Workout

Aug 23, 2013 by Tatianna

 

Hello my dearest and sweetest,

I have an AMAZING upper body workout for you guys and it is way more challenging than we did before. This one is definitely very advanced but I gave you guys variations for beginner in the Workout Recap part of the video. This workout can take you anywhere from 25-35 minutes ( it’s really up to you on the time ), but what I want you to remember is not the clock ticking, but the good form of your body. Even if this routine takes you way longer, that’s OK too, as long as you did every rep to the fullest and with good form.

 

For all the Newbies to Loving Fit

If you are new to Loving Fit I recommend to check out ” Creating Your Workout Plan ” post. There you will be able to see how I put together my routines, and you can find something for your own fitness level. My philosophy is: Form is always more important than speed, so WATCH YOUR FORM!

Things to remember before, during and after your workout

1. Warm-Up
2. Always Practice Good Form
3. Stretch

 

 

Workout Explanation

 

In this routine I was using my Gymboss Timer, a chair and a Pull-Up bar. I got my pull-up bar on ebay for under 30 dollars with free shipping, I really suggest to invest into this tiny but very useful equipment.

The workout is broken down into 2 parts. First part will have part ‘a’ and part ‘b’ in it. Second part of the workout is only 5 minutes long, but that last 5 minutes will beat you down to the ground ( in a good way 😉 ).

 

Part 1 – Complete 5 rounds of the following, both part ‘a’ and ‘b’.

a

Set your timer for 2 intervals of 30 seconds. There is 2 exercises, you will do the first one for 30 seconds, then the second one for 30 seconds.

• Hand Switch Handstand
• Wall Jacks

b

• Amped Up Elevated 1.5 Push-up Combo – 8 reps ( Elevated Push-up, 3 Iso Kicks, 2 one hand balance semi side plank. This whole thing is 1 rep ).
• Two way grip, 1.5 Pull-ups – 6 reps

 

Part 2

Set your Gymboss Timer for 2 intervals, first interval 10 seconds, second interval 15 seconds, for the total of 12 rounds. This is going to be a Dive Bomber 2.0 combo :), cause we’re cool like that. You will do the following sequence combo for the total of 6 rounds, in this following order:

• Slow Dive Bomber – 10 sec
• 2nd Position Bomberman – 15 sec
• Slow Dive Bomber back – 10 sec
• 3 Pulse Jump Out Shoulder Presses – 15 sec

 

I did not time how long the first part took me, but it was around 5-6 minute each round.

 

Have fun training my sweets and have a beautiful weekend!

Hugs and Love,

Tati
