Just over 20 minutes. Back. Shoulders. Chest. Arms… all worked but in a very slow and controlled format.
This is a PERFECT upper body session to save for those days when you just want to work hard for that shorter duration!
All you will need for this upper body workout is some dumbbells and your mat!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 15kg! However I reduce to 9kg each for the SHOULDER PRESS & ARNOLD PRESS!
The timer will be on for 40 seconds of work, 20 seconds rest for most of the exercises within the circuit, however the PULLOVER will be performed for 1 minute duration and 10 seconds rest before the next exercise, being the SHOULDER PRESS!
We perform this circuit 3 times then we have the finisher!
BENT OVER ROW
CHEST PRESS
PULLOVER *1 MINUTE
SHOULDER PRESS
PUSH UPS
ARNOLD PRESS
FINISHER!
40/20/40
DEADSTOP PUSH UPS!
DIAGONAL DIAMOND PRESS
DEADSTOP PUSH UPS!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
You will notice there are no arm specific exercises however these are compound movements so the biceps and triceps are involved during the back, shoulder and chest exercises.
If you have been training with me for awhile, you will have noticed I don’t train arms that often as you may think. Infact I have gained strength and muscle in triceps and biceps mostly from rows, presses and push up variations!
20 minutes. Upper body. Done!

Every time I hear you say how much your weights weigh 😅😅😅
Don't have to lighten my weights anymore but I did use lower weights overall instead of maxing out halfway thru the workout. I find that works better for me. Still loving your workouts. Thanks Caroline!
This was excellent!!

Thank you 🎉❤
Thanks for boosting my energy today ❤️🔥🙂↔️
1/25' For my reference, I used 25 for row, 30s for chest, 20s for two sets of presses and arnolds then to 15s. 25lb for pullover. Good workout for 80 calories.
Whew! I just discovered your videos about 4 weeks ago and I live them! Thanks for sharing your work!
I’m a bit late to this, 3 years later. Great workout. Thank you!
I LOVE your workouts! You inspire me to push just a little harder.
Thank you Caroline for the shorter options!
