This circuit trio will make your arms, shoulders, and back sore af.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my weekly 30 Minute Workout Burnout post. So. This workout routine was the best one this week and it’s all about my fave parts: arms, shoulders, and back. As much as I love glute and quad exercises, arm and back routines are my OG loves as they’re easier (not so much on the cardio hohoho) but as deadly. Also, I love using free weights any chance I get hehe. 

The arm exercises in this routine are more on toning and sculpting. There are no push-ups included (THANK GOODNESS) and they really rely on weights and bands. As with my other workouts, cardio, glutes, and core are also present but for today they’re secondary; backup singers and dancers, if you will. There are some jumping, planking, marches, and bridges then the rest are rows, curls, presses, and extensions.

Baby Fit Gym Workout 4: Booty Band Challenge

Opening the workout with a good 15 minute session of mini band exercises. Still loving Baby Fit Gym’s Booty Band Challenge series because they’re the right mix of cardio, resistance training, and toning. I always do this first because the cardio on this really gets me warmed up more. Also the Booty Band Challenges are total body so by the time I’m done with a workout, every part of my body is already burning.  Fave moves are squat touches (DUH), shoulder press, and plank rows.

Tone It Up Sleek Arms

The second part is more for toning them armzzz. Now, this workout is pretty chill. No hardcore moves, just plain simple arm toning with weights. At first glance, you’d think this workout is easy but wait til you go for round two. The key to that good arm burn is going for a semi-heavy to heavy dumbbell. 5lbs is a good starting point, I think, then just work your way up. Trust me, round two will get you, your arms, shoulders, and back.

Tone It Up Sunshine Sculpt

I felt extra today so I ended this routine with some weighted yoga + tone,. What, you think I’ll just go for a relaxing yoga flow? NAH. Imma burn everything every chance I get, yes? This is really more of a sculpting routine but there are some yoga elements scattered across the workout so it’s a cross between a chill, relaxing workout and a toning workout. Trust me, this is a pretty great finisher for today’s session. You can do this routine twice if you’re up to it but I just did it once because my body’s just begging me to stop already haha!

Workout Duration: around 48-49 minutes, excluding warm up and cool down.
