Whether it’s because you’re travelling, don’t have a gym membership, or simply haven’t plucked up the courage to go yet, it’s always a great idea to have an upper body workout on hand that can target more than just your biceps and triceps. This upper body will work not only those two, but also incorporate your chest, back and shoulders to form a balanced workout.

Equipment you will need:

  • Workout mat

  • Bench or chair to lean on

  • Hand towel or tea towel

  • Dumbbells or two full water bottles
