We’re going to focus on the upper body this week, which means sculpted, sexy arms and shoulders! Many women avoid weights due to a fear of bulking up, but this is a myth that needs to be busted. Lifting weights actually helps you burn calories longer and boosts your metabolism. Upper body strength is also very useful in day to day life! In short, there are many benefits to building your upper body and if you can’t get past the weight lifting fear, you can do bodyweight moves that are effective in building strength. The exercises we’ve chosen to share this week will also work other parts of the body, including your glutes and core, so you can kill two birds with one stone.
