25 MIN Upper Body Pilates x Strength Workout | Summer Strong Day 7 | build lean arms & toned back

Hi guys! Welcome to day 7 of our Summer Strong Challenge! Today is a pilates x strength upper body workout using some light dumbbells (mine are 2kg). This workout combines strength training with pilates inspired moves, bringing balance, core strength and controlled moves into our training. Today is all about upper body and core strength. We have rows and fly moves to target the upper back, helping to build a lean, toned back, we have lateral raises and presses to sculpt the shoulders, we have bicep work to build toned arms, and we have side plank variations to strengthen the core. We focus on slow, controlled, low-impact exercises combined with dumbbell resistance to improve muscular endurance, stability and mobility while strengthening the upper body. Expect slow, intentional movements that challenge your muscles, activate your core and leave you feeling strong! workout breakdown: 40 sec on / 20 sec off warmup: standing roll ups forward fold reaches spinal rolls standing saw workout: wide row wide row to fly fly to overhead press full lateral raise lateral raise to shoulder press alternating shoulder press (one side) all fours row row to pike tapback pike tapback to side plank side plank press to squat (repeat on the other side) kneeling chest press chest press to shoulder press shoulder press to bicep extension bicep extension to lateral raise lateral raise lateral raise to hammer curl hammer curl to bicep curl cooldown: chest stretch thread the needle cat cow side bends enjoy your workout!
