Hi, I'm Valerie Waters, with the A-List Look.
And today, I have for you an upper body express workout.
This workout is great, because you can do it almost anywhere, and it takes very little
time.
So even when you think you don't have time to exercise, you definitely have time for
this -- an upper body express.
If you're ready, let's get started.
All you need are a band, and I have here the Valband Deluxe -- just hooked it around the
balcony.
You can also hook it into your door.
And we're gonna do a full circuit.
So starting with Flyes: Palms face each other, abs are tight, you're gonna open wide with
a slight bend in the elbow, and then squeeze together for 20.
And that's 2 and 3.
That is perfect.
Now, I'm leaning into this a little bit, and if you feel that you have too much tension,
you could back up a little.
So you kinda make this as hard as you need to make it.
We definitely wanna be working, because we're not here for very long.
Almost there, Two more.
Excellent.
Now, we're gonna go right into a Press.
So, again, we're working the chest, leaning forward, palms faced down, and you go -- 1,
2.
If you need more, just step out.
5, 6.
I'm feeling it.
7 -- we're going all the way to 20.
13.
Five more, here we go.
Keep it going.
Okay, turn it around.
Now we're gonna work the back a little bit.
I call this exercise Swimmers.
You're gonna feel this in your lats.
So nice flat back, kinda stick your butt out.
Palms face down.
Press it back.
And press it back -- we're gonna do 12.
Need a little more resistance, just back up.
Good.
That's it, keep it going -- two more.
Excellent.
Right into Rows.
I like to do my rows -- I start palms face down, and then I turn and squeeze.
It's really good for the posture -- we're going to 20.
It's so nice to just be able to be outside and getting a workout in.
Again, this is like a good thing to do if you're like on vacation, because it doesn't
take a lot of time.
It's a super quick workout.
And, you know, who doesn't have time for a quickie?
Almost there.
Okay, last one.
Awesome.
And then we go from that into Triceps Extensions.
So I'm gonna go palms faced down, elbows at my waste, extend those arms straight back
-- 12 times.
2, 3.
Boy, I feel this already -- 4, 5, 6, 8, 9.
Feel it?
11, one more -- 12.
Perfect.
Okay, Bicep Curls are next -- just take that band out, and then you're gonna step on it.
Stand up straight -- Bicep Curls.
Going to 20.
I love the way bands feel.
I'm resisted on the way down, so even though this is an express workout, you don't hurry
the reps -- you keep that good form, abs are tight.
Gettin' tired.
Almost there.
Okay, two more.
Last one.
Very, very good job.
Take a quick break.
You're gonna do this circuit two more times.
That whole thing is only gonna take you about 10 minutes, which just goes to show you, you
don't need a lot need a lot of time to get a great workout in.
So I hope you meet me back here soon.
I'm Valerie Waters.
And remember, you are just one workout away from a good mood.
