Simple Upper Body Workout that you can customize

Pick up your weights and get ready for a simple upper body workout that you can customize to your fitness level.  All of the moves below are very simple and easy to understand and can be completed outside at the beach, park, backyard or your home.  There are 3 levels so you can customize your upper body workout for your needs by increasing the weight of your dumbbells. ALWAYS start with a lower weight and work your way upwards. I recommend a 5lb. dumbbell to get started, here is a set that I recommend if you are just getting started and need dumbbells. Unipack Neoprene Dumbbells

Beginner: 3 sets of 10 reps for each move

Intermediate: 3 sets of 15 reps for each move

Advanced: 3 sets of 10 reps with heavier weight

Shoulder Press: stand upright, core/ab tight, feet shoulder width apart, with pass facing forward slowly extend hands overhead, then return to starting position, repeat

Side raises: stand upright, arms by side, palms facing inward, slowly extend arms out until parallel to ground, slowly return to your sides (stopping before touching sides), repeat

Tricep raises: stand upright, core/abs tight, arms placed behind booty, keeping arms straight lift slowly (small move), then slowly return to starting position, repeat

Front raises: stand upright, arms straight in front of legs, palms facing inward, slowly raise arms until parallel to the ground, slowly return to front of legs stopping just before touching legs, repeat

Back fly:  bend at hips with head placed slightly above heart, keeping legs slightly bent, core tight, extend arms with palms facing inward, slowing raise arms, elbows bent, pinching upper back muscles, slowly return stopping before hands reach knees, repeat

Back rows:  bend at hips, keeping head above heart, core/ab tight, extend arms straight by your side, palms facing inward, squeezing shoulder blades and elevate elbows in row formation, slowly lower, repeat
