Workout: Seated Upper-Body Blitz
Trainer: Andy Dooley, group fitness instructor from Ventura, California, and 2016 Face of the ReebokONE fitness instructor network
Benefit: You’ll strengthen your core, arms, and shoulders. And since you’re sitting down the entire time, you can’t rely on any momentum or assistance from your lower body, so your upper body has to do all the work.
Directions: Sit down on a bench, chair, step, or box, and grab a pair of dumbbells. Perform the following seated combination movement. Each movement should flow seamlessly into the next.
- Biceps curl
- Shoulder press
- Right punch to left kick
- Left punch to right kick
Lower the weights back down to your sides. That’s 1 rep. Do 10 to 15 total reps, and then rest 1 minute. Repeat 3 times.
