23 Minute Back and Arm Toner
Alright ladies today the focus is all about the upper body. We are working your back, triceps and biceps
What you will need:
- Ideally a set of lighter and heavier weights
Warm-Up:
- 3-4 minutes of dynamic stretching and movements to loosen and warm up your upper body.
Workout:
- 4 Rounds with 5 moves, 40 seconds on, 20 seconds recovery.
Circuit 1
- Alternating Back Row – Set feet about hip width apart with a soft knee. Hinge your body forward so you have a slight bend in your upper body, think of having a 45-degree angle. Keep your back flat and your shoulders pulled back. Alternating sides, bring the weight up in between your chest and hips while keeping the elbow pulled behind the back, not out to the side. Release back to starting position and alternate arms.
- Triceps Kickbacks – In the same position as the row, bring both elbows up, so you are in a static hold now straighten your arms out back behind you, and return to the starting position. If you’re feeling unsure what I mean, no worries I explain it all in the video J
- Bicep V Curl – Perform a classic bicep curl followed with a wide V curl, keep your elbows locked in at your side, shoulders back, belly button in
- Triceps push ups – This move is NO joke. You can perform this push up on your knees in either a table top position or extended position, and if you really want to go for it then come up on your toes!The most important to thing to remember with triceps push ups is that your elbows need to come back behind you and your chest comes down between your hands.
- Cardio – You get to choose what type of cardio you want, but don’t just choose something ‘easy’ I want you to go for it like the Rockstar I know you are! So lets PUSH IT BABES
Cool Down/Stretching
- Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching.
Make today Badass,
Kaylie

Yessss! Done and yes arms feel a bit like jelly and arms were really shaky on the last bit of push ups. Love it!
I love that shaky feeling! good job lady
Loved it!!! Triceps are still burning from Tuesday!!!!
ya Tuesday was a pretty intense class LOL
Cameron is so excited as this was his first full workout he completed with me. He has done lots of RF partials but saw this right through to stretching. I need to go buy heavier weights though so he can use my current ones as the 3 lbs he used were too easy for him and I have outgrown my 8lbs but a start! I loved it too, felt much simpler than all the 16 lb ugi ball work I did yesterday. 6th RF this week! Boom!
Finishing the workouts each week is just the most motivating thing! Didn’t feel like doing this last one today after a long busy day with the kids but know how good it feels so sucked it up and hit the cold garage and gotter done. Bring on next week!
