Pilates Upper body workout

Target your shoulders, chest, & triceps with this Pilates workout. All you need to get started is your mat & a light pair of dumbbells. For this workout I used 5lbs dumbbells but if you can go heavier (8-12lbs) then go heavier! Workout details⬇️

1. Push ups 3 x 8

Option to do knee push-ups as well if you can’t do high plank push-ups!

2. Shoulder taps 3 x 12 reps per side

3. Single arm press 3 x 12 per arm

Start lying down. Perform a sit up and single arm press at the same time. Slowly roll back down & repeat. Switch sides after one side is done.

4. Chest press 3 x 15

Press your hips up into a bridge position. Maintain a neutral grip & bend your elbows. Press back up using your chest & triceps.

5. Dumbbell flies 3 x 15

Stay in a bridge position. Maintain a soft bend to your elbows. Face your palms together & slowly bring the dumbbells out to the side. Come back through center.
