Hi friends!
Today I have a new workout for you that I think your upper body will appreciate.
Links to the exercises:
- Renegade rows (you can use kettlebells or dumbbells)
- Weighted situps with overhead presses (you can use a kettlebell, bar, medicine ball, or dumbbell, and you can also do this on a flat or decline surface)
- Dumbbell chest flies
- Slow mountain climbers (I like to alternate sides and hold for 3 counts at the top of each rep)
- Dynamic blackburns
The rep schemes I provided in the workout graphic are just a guide. I recommend heavier weights for the first three moves, but you may need to decrease the number of reps depending on how heavy you go. Make sure to do a dynamic warmup before jumping into the circuit, and modify as needed. A warmup + three rounds of this should take you about 30 minutes! If you do four total rounds, it might take a little longer, but it’s something to work up to.
If you give this one a whirl, I want to know about it. Post your upper body burn pics on social media and tag me @fitnessandfeta. I would love to see you guys in action!

Slow Mt. Climbers can be deadly when followed up with other upper body moves. Great workout, Athena.
To answer your question – Seated shoulder presses.
