Upper Body Workout at Home with Dumbbells for Women Over 40
[BONUS: shoulder/mobility drills]

Join me for an upper body workout for home, only using dumbells. Not only do we hit the upper body, but I also place focus on our shoulder mobility and stability… because these are two areas that start to tank when we are over 40.

In addition, we finish off with a fun bicep, triceps and shoulder finisher.

TOOLS NEEDED

light, moderate, heavy dumbbells (FYI: if you own a BOSU ball and/or a TRX have those ready too. I’ll show you where you can add them.)
