Are You Ready for Summer or do You Need to Tighten, Tone & Sculpt Your Arms?

The Summer Slimdown Series has You Covered, or Uncovered for Summer! ⛱

Pick up your weights and get ready for a simple yet very effective upper body workout that you can customize for your fitness level.  All of the moves below are very simple and easy to follow and could also be completed outside at the beach🌊 , park 🏞 , backyard 🌳 or your home 🏡 .  There are 3️⃣ levels so you can customize your upper body workout for your needs by increasing the weight of your dumbbells and/or reps.  But ALWAYS start with a lower weight and work your way upwards to make sure you can maintain proper form.

Equipment:

Use 2 to 3 different dumbbells for your workout.

 

Beginner: 3 sets of 10 reps for each move (3 lb. 5 lb. 8 lb. weights)

Intermediate: 3 sets of 15 reps for each move (8 lb. 10 lb. 12 lb. weights)

Advanced: 3 sets of 10 reps with heavier weight (10 lb. 12 lb. 15 lb. weights)
