Upper Body Resistance Workout | Natalie Jill

Hey, guys. Today we have an upper body resistance workout that you can do anywhere. All you need is a band or some tubing. Any kind of bands you can find. They can have handles. No handles. We've got four exercises all targeting the upper body. Are you ready? So you're going to take your band and the first one we have is just an open and a closed move. We're working the back muscles, so grabbing your band tight and it's just a pulling it open and closing. You'll really start to work your back and you'll feel it a little bit in your chest. But you're really targeting those back muscles open and close. And you just want to do it a little past where you're burning it. So keep going. Just when you feel it, you've got a few more. Five more right here. Nice. Shake it out. Okay, continuing on with the back this time we're going to hold the band open really wide with that resistance. But we've got an up and a down move as you're pulling the band open. So you are still working that back, those lats up and down while you're pulling it open. Just like this, working that upper back. Three more. Nice. Okay, shaking that out. Moving on to biceps. You'll put the band around either one foot or two. You choose. Grabbing the band in your palms. It's just a curl up and down standard bicep curl. You're using your body weight here and the band for resistance. Up and down, keeping your elbows in, making sure you keep your core tight, your stomach in. And by changing your stance, it'll make it harder or easier. Two feet, for instance, will make it a little bit tighter, but taking one out makes the band a little bit looser and makes it a little bit easier. No magic number or reps. Just want to make sure that you feel it burning. Do three more right here. Shake it out. Moving on to shoulders. Same stance with your feet. Turning your palms over. And we're lifting it up just like this. Working those shoulders. Now you can make this a little bit harder by stepping wider apart. Makes the resistance tighter. Bringing it in to make it a little bit easier. No magic number of reps. Just doing it until it's really burning. We'll do three more right here. Shake it out. See, these are quick. You don't need a super long workout. The key is just to progress and make it intense for you. And I love to not count numbers. There's no magic number or rep, but as soon as you start feeling it, you want to push through, do a few more and you make it intense. Your workouts can be very short as long as you're really challenging yourself. To find more of my workouts, take a look on my channel below.
