    Killer Upper Body Workout

    March 2, 2018 by Andrea Marincovich, R.D. Leave a Comment

    This Killer Upper Body Workout is perfect for the individual that strength trains about 2-3 days a week and needs to get in several muscle groups at once. You can do this at home or at your gym.

    Killer Upper Body Workout

    ​​You know what they say, girlfriends that sweat together, stay together. 😉 In my eyes, there’s nothing that’s more fun than blaring Beyonce and Britney while working out with one of your favorite girls! My girlfriend, Samantha Tuohy, is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and she planned a KILLER Upper Body Workout for us and I had to share it with you all.

    This workout focuses on all of the muscle groups in your upper body, including: chest, back, shoulders, biceps and triceps. Samantha designed this routine where each muscle group is separated and done for 3 rounds each, as noted below. We clearly did this workout at her home, however, you can also make adjustments and do the same routine in a gym. Either way is effective and based on what you prefer or have access to. So, turn on some tunes and go kick some butt!

    Hi, I'm Andrea!

    I’m a Registered Dietitian from Orange County, CA.  Nutrition is my number one obsession in life and nothing rocks my world more than helping others by sharing my passion with them. I’m a true California girl! So when I’m not Dietitianing, you’ll find me in a body of water or on a dirt trail, always rockin’ a sweet pair of shades (because eye health is important too), and playing my favorite tunes. If I’m not there, there’s a 100% chance I’m snugglin’ with my fur baby, Stella!
