Upper Body Bootcamp Workout

Hello my beautiful creatures :),

I hope you are having a wonderful day because I have a cool new upper body workout! But before I completed this routine I’ve done an abs routine which was about 10 minutes long, I also did 3 sets of planks, 1 minute each.

I’ve been having so much fun interacting with you guys and I love that you share your scores with me – thank you for that :). I’ve been looking through my blog today and last month it’s been exactly 1 year since I’ve opened doors of Loving Fit. I didn’t start making videos until 8 month’s ago or so, but as I looked through the blog I realized how much I’ve done just in one year. When I started this blog I knew nothing about blogging or how to eat it, LOL and now I am a blogger :).

Now let’s workout!

 

 

Workout Explanation

This workout was divided into two parts. First part was done for time and the second part was bootcamp interval training. All I was using in this workout is my timer, a pair of dumbbells ( 10 lbs each ) and a medicine ball ( weight doesn’t matter cause I was using it to do push-ups ).

Make sure you do your warm-up and always remember that proper form is more important then speed. Watch the workout explanation part of the video where I go over the proper form.

Part one

Set your timer as a stopwatch. There is going to be 10 rounds of the following:

• Bear Push-ups 3 reps + Drop Down + 3 Push-off Push-ups ( your back position in the push-offs is very important, so make sure you watch the workout recap part of the video and do it with proper form ).

 

Part 2

Set your timer for 2 intervals. First interval is 10 seconds ( your break interval ), second interval is 45 seconds ( your maximum effort interval ), for the total of 18 rounds. You will go through the following sequence for the total of 3 rounds.

• Side Plank Lift with a Dumbbell – Right Side ( that’s a super difficult exercise to do in proper form, but it’s really amazing )
• Side Plank Lift with a Dumbbell – Left Side
• 2 Dumbbell Kick Backs & Burpee on Dumbbells ( actually is half of burpee ) ( the whole thing counts as one rep )
• 2 Dumbbell Curls & Burpee on Dumbbells ( the whole thing counts as one rep )
• 2 Shoulder Raises & Burpee on Dumbbells ( the whole thing counts as one rep )
• Push-ups on a medicine ball

Nutrition Tip

– Always start and finish your day with a glass of water with lemon. Also drink a glass of water before and after your meal. Water helps to rehydrate your muscles and draw out toxins from your body.

I also hope that some of you or all of you are reading Fitness Black Book blog, it’s hands down the best underground fitness info out there.
