Upper Body Strength 3

Instructions: Find a space that is clear in front, behind, and to each side of you to avoid injury. Perform a warm-up (such as the one listed below) that consists of an activity that increases your heart rate and moves your joints through a moderate to large range of motion.

Workout: Complete each exercise for 10-12 reps followed by 15-60 seconds of rest. Repeat the workout for 3-5 sets. It is encouraged that you modify each exercise to a version that is best for you.
