Description

Grab some heavy weights and join us for this back, bicep, and tricep workout! In just 10 minutes, we’ll target your upper body muscles using a variety of strength moves. Building muscle in your upper body is not only great for looking good, but it’s also important for the strength and independence of your whole body. Think of it as real life training. How many times a day do you pick things up or push things away? We carry our luggage, pick up small kids, push open doors, and carry heavy boxes. We bring groceries to the car after pushing a heavy cart full and haul the laundry basket up and down the stairs.

This back, bicep, and tricep workout does more than just give you a beautiful set of arms. Keep in mind that when it comes to the question of how to lose arm fat, this is just one piece of the puzzle. You’ll definitely want to combine it with more strength workouts from GHUTV and get your entire body strong and sculpted!

In this video, trainer Shelly Hawkins as she guides you through this simple routine of back, bicep and tricep workout moves using heavy weights. Of course any weight you choose for your own level is great. Try a couple different sizes and keep yourself open to changing up mid-course if needed. You’ll start with 30 seconds of a row for the back muscles. Once you complete this set you’ll get a short rest before moving on to 30 seconds of bicep work. After a good bicep burn you will move into a great tricep strength exercise.

Those three moves are all great and they are going to work to build your strength, but the real fun comes next. Shelly combines all three moves into one and this is where the work really happens! Not only will you feel your strength building, but your heart rate will rise and your fat burning. And if you like that feeling you definitely need to try our 10-Minute Upper Body HIIT Workout!

Hi, I'm Shelley Hawkins. One of your GHUTV trainers. And I'm here today with a 10-minute back, bicep and tricep workout. I have two sets of weights. I'm gonna go heavy because that's what I feel like doing today strength, all right? You can obviously tailor it down if you need to, all right? No problem there at all. We'll have 30 seconds of work and I'm going to give you a rest, all right? Cause I know we need it, I needed as well. So, with that being said we gonna go through four different exercises. And we gonna see how we progress and if we have enough time, we'll do it twice, all right? Let's get started team with a warmup and then we'll go straight into our back. All right. Let's take a big breath in, reach it up open up that rib cage and exhale. One more for me please, bring it in and exhale. Let's take a hands down to our quads. I want you to curl calf stretch. So the curl calf is a rounding out of that lower back and then you push the navel down between those inner thighs. Two more times for me. Pull, inhale, draw that navel in and then push down. One more for me please team. Pull it up and bring it down, nicely done. Let's open up the chest, squeeze the shoulder blades together. We gonna bring the right arm across gently stretching out that tricep just to warm it up just to let it know that we're coming for it today, all right? And gently pull across with the other arm. All right. Now I've got my timer. I'm gonna set it 30 seconds, all right? And then we're going to get through those four different body parts or that from muscle groups, all right? So let me start that timer pick up your heavy set of weights your light set of weights whichever ones you're wanting to do. We have brought an underhand rows. So your hinge forward palms are facing me, all right? You're slowly pulling back I don't want that scapula retracted pull back. You got a nice hinge. You got an extension in your tailbone. I'm gonna turn sideways cause I need you to see that extension. I'm not rounding out. I've got a nice long spine all right? Keep it coming. In five we're gonna switch it up. You're gonna give me row, double arm row, you ready? Let's go pull it up, pull it up hesitate at the top and release. Now I want those two elbows looking like shock burns, it's all right? Squeeze the back together. Keep it nice and strong. Keep it nice and strong. You got 15 seconds team, keep it coming. Nice strong upper body move. Your back as one of the largest muscle groups. You need to use it, all right? In eight seconds, we're gonna have a slight rest and then we're coming into biceps. Yes, in two, one, rest it out. Have some water if you need. We're gonna give it a 15 second break and then we're gonna come straight into biceps. So, biceps. We're gonna use the curl and hammer curl. Hammer curl your palms are facing each other. Bicep curl your palms face me or the camera or your TV. All right, are you ready? Start with a curl slowly up and slowly down. Now I want you to think about this concentric eccentric move, all right? The push and the pull both are as important as the other. So I need you to take it slow big muscle, small muscle, but big group, all right? So keep it coming slowly up and down, breathe in and exhale. Breathe in and try not to swing those weights. Keep them nice and stable. Keep your core ignited. And here we go. Hammer curl, palms facing each other. Same thing, slow and controlled yeah. I want you to show me those muscles, come on. It's biceps, everybody loves to work, so let's do it. You get to show them off it's summer, wherever you are, I hope it's summer. Let's go team, slow and controlled, up and exhale and up and exhale, one more for me please team, nicely done, all right? If you need to switch weights, do so. Now we're working into our triceps. Smaller muscle group may not be as strong as that back or those biceps, but you have options, maybe start heavy and then switch it down to light, all right? Are you ready? We're coming with a, starting with a tricep kickback. I'm gonna turn sideways for you, your hands just at your chest level. We're gonna kickback and bring them in. Slow and controlled, slow and controlled. And I want you to hesitate at the top. Hold in there just for a little second and then gently release. Remember there's no swing here, all right? Slowly does it. The elbows are parallel to each other. You've got a slight pinch so that you're using those triceps and not those shoulders. And out to come next 30 seconds. You've got your kickbacks and your push backs your hands slightly, keep those weights at the gluteus and no falling at the hip flexes. Let's go, up and down. Now think about this slow and controlled once again. So not throwing those weights and guiding them up and down. This is also fabulous for those little pieces of skin that's fault at the bore struck. Keep it coming, three, two, one, nicely done. You have 20 seconds of rest. And then we're gonna go into a row, a hammer curl and then you gonna try the weights overhead for a dip and bring it down. So this is a back, bicep, tricep workout, all right? The whole SheBang, are you ready? Hinge forward for me and let's go. So you got a row, bring it down. Hammer curl, bring it up, tricep and bring it down. Pull, pull and hammer curl. Drive, tricep dip and bring it down. Release, row and hammer curl, drive, tricep and bring it down.

Nicely done, now take a rest, have some water we coming straight back into our second round, all right? Now remember if you did not fatigue in that round maybe you want to pick up something little heavier. Ready? The worst thing that can happen is that you can get fatigued and have to put them down and start with a load lighter weight. That is no shame, all right? I would do that. Let's get it going team. I'm gonna start my timer and we're gonna get straight into it. And we start with our underhand rows, all right? Let's go be dip with the part, slowly up and release.

Pull your navel into your spine keep in mind strong core. You don't wanna get to the end of the workout and sit but I want my core to be strengthened. This is how you do it. Keep it ignited throughout the full 10 minutes. Keep it coming, roll it up and down and squeeze and down, you got two more. Come on, you can do it, one more, nicely done.
