Save this upper body workout ✨ I’ve taught thousands of women over the past 20 years, and this is still one of the upper body workouts they ask me to come back to again and again. It’s quick, effective and in just 10 minutes works the chest, shoulders, arms and upper back while also challenging posture and deep-core control. 🤍 The best part? You don’t need any equipment. You can do the entire workout at home using just your body weight. ✨ Reverse Plank Hinge x12 ✨ Tricep Push-ups x12 ✨ Elbows to Plank x12 ✨ Reverse Butterfly x12 🤍 Complete 3 rounds If you’re still building up to the full movements, try these progressions: ✨ Reverse Plank Hinge: Start by holding a strong reverse plank before adding the hinge. ✨ Tricep Push-ups: Keep both feet grounded for a little more support. ✨ Reverse Butterfly: Begin with a small hover from the floor before increasing the lift. ✨ Elbows to Plank: Perform the movement from your knees first, then progress to a full plank. Throughout the workout, keep the ribs gently connected, create length through the spine and move slowly with control. Think quality over speed. ✨ ✨ Lean, toned arms ✨ Sculpted back ✨ Better posture ✨ Stronger deep core Save this for your next upper body workout and follow for more Pilates that actually works. 🤍 #Pilates #UpperBodyPilates #BodyweightWorkout #PilatesArms #PostureWorkout
