At home upper body workout

So because of this "tropical storm" that passed yesterday, my gym was closed this morning! It was a scheduled leg day, but I don't have heavy enough weights to do legs at home, so I did upper body instead! Tomorrow can be legs :) So here's the workout for those of you who can't get to the gym, or simply don't have a gym membership! I highly recommend investing in some dumbbells! Very worth it!

5-10 minute warm up (if you don't have a treadmill, elliptical, stair master, etc. , do some ballistic stretching to get your heart rate up. Jumping jacks, running in place, jump rope, WHATEVER!)

Alternating dumbbell curls-4x10

Single arm dumbbell row-4x10

Overhead tricep extension- 4x8

Clean and press-4x10

Shoulder press-4x10

Bent over rows-4x8

Decline floor bench press-4x10

Seated bicep curls-4x10

Superset: pushups/bench dips 4x8(or as many as you can do)

Focus on each move you make! Really contract your muscles and make sure you don't use momentum. You want every move to be crisp and clean so you work every fiber in those muscles!
