Extreme Upper Body Workout – An advanced AB and SHOULDER routine
Today we are doing an EXTREME upper body workout focusing on our abs and our shoulders! If you are a beginner, this not for you (try this beginner upper body workout instead!), but if you’ve completed my advanced bodyweight workouts and are ready to take it up a notch, give this extreme upper body workout for your abs and shoulders a try! Are you IN?!
Extreme Upper Body Workout Move #1 – Core & Shoulders – Plank Wall Up & Down
Get in a plank position from your hands in front of a wall with your head facing toward the wall and fingers facing forward. Slowly lift one arm at a time onto a flat palm against the wall, and the slowly lower one by one back into the plank position on the ground. Remember, this is an advanced move, so be careful. If this is your first time doing this workout, maybe put a pillow under you just in case 🙂 Do as many of these as you can.
Extreme Upper Body Workout Move #2 – Core & Shoulders – Lift Off
From a handstand against the wall, we are going to make one small movement by lifting one leg at a time off of the wall. This is more or less just a distraction from the shoulders (which you should be really feeling!) but by lifting our legs, we actually are using our core, too! Do this for as long as you can.
Extreme Upper Body Workout Move #3 – Core & Shoulders – Walk Outs
From a handstand position against the wall, keep your legs straight, and walk your hands out while walking your feet down the wall. Then walk it back up to the starting position. Do as many of these as you can, and even if you can only do ONE, remember that it’s all about progression!
So, tell me! Did you just watch me or did you do it with me?!
