Save this upper body workout ✨ I’ve taught thousands of women over the past 20 years, and this is one of the upper body workouts they ask me to teach again and again. It’s quick, effective, and in just 10 minutes strengthens your chest, shoulders, arms and upper back while improving posture and challenging your deep core. The best part? You don’t need any equipment. You can do this entire workout next to your bed using only your bodyweight. ✨ Reverse Plank Hinge ×12 ✨ Tricep Push-ups ×12 ✨ Elbows to Plank ×12 ✨ Reverse Butterfly ×12 Complete 3 rounds 🤍 If you’re just getting started, try these progressions: ✨ Reverse Plank Hinge: Begin by simply holding the reverse plank before adding the hinge. ✨ Tricep Push-ups: Keep both feet on the floor for extra support. ✨ Reverse Butterfly: Hover just off the floor before lifting higher. ✨ Elbows to Plank: Perform the movement from your knees before progressing to a full plank. Throughout every exercise, keep your rib cage gently connected, reach long through the spine and move slowly with control. Focus on quality over speed. Save this workout for your next upper body session and follow for Pilates that actually works. 🤍 #Pilates #UpperBodyWorkout #BodyweightWorkout
