Chest and Triceps Workout with Dumbbells for Women Over 40

Grab some dumbbells for this chest and triceps workout for women over 40.

DAY 8 – FIT IN 15 CHALLENGE

After this workout, you will not want to lift anything for a couple of days… haha.

Just joking!

As with all of my workouts you can make them as easy, or as hard, as you like. And this workout is the perfect example of that!

Because we use dumbbells for most of the workout it is super easy for you to adjust the intensity. And while there are a couple of bodyweight moves, making it harder to scale the exercises, I do show you how you can by simply adjusting your hips.

Sound good?

Awesome! Now, let’s go.
