Strength & Mobility Training for the Upper Body for Women Over 40

All levels, strength, and mobility workout for the UPPER BODY for women over 40.

⁣This all-levels, strength & mobility workout for the upper body will leave you feeling strong and amazing.

The strength portion of this workout is a true strength workout, too. So, please make sure you are using heavy enough dumbbells. We also superset the same muscle groups for the first 4 moves – hyper-targeting all the muscles pecs and back muscles.

The workout is broken up like so: for 30-minutes we target the muscles of the upper body, with extra emphasis on the arms, and finish off with 10-minutes of dynamic and static mobility and flexibility work for the shoulders and spine (with some extra loving to your thoracic – mid-back).
