Before You Begin

Following a warmup, this workout is is made up of 2 rounds of 14 exercises. With every move you’re encouraged to use good form and full range of motion. The purpose of the workout is to stress your upper body with continuous motion interrupted by short breaks. Light/medium dumbbells are optional. I used 8 lb (3.6 kg) and 10 lb (4.5 kg).
