Upper Body Superset Workout

October 3, 2012 by Julie 93 Comments

Today began with a quality upper body workout!

Lately I’ve been incorporating some strength exercises into a bunch of different circuit workouts, but today I decided to focus solely on strength training and did a superset workout that targeted my biceps, triceps, chest and shoulders.

Links to a few of the exercises:

  • Barbell Chest Press
  • Bicep Hammer Curl
  • Standing Tricep Extension
  • Basic explanation of supersets

Feel the buuurn!

Breakfast

Thanks to a light rain outside, a warm and cozy breakfast appealed to me this morning. Something about dreary weather mandates a hot bowl of comforting food for this girl.

I made a batch of Joelle’s Paleo oatmeal with an extra egg white, a whole banana, a scoop of raw cashew butter and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and nutmeg. Plus my new favorite ground flaxseed from GNC to give it that cream of wheat texture!

Along with a hot mug of coffee, I sipped on a can of La Croix coconut sparkling water. (It’s BOGO at Publix this week!)

At first sip, I thought this stuff was really funky, but once I realized that sparkling water shouldn’t taste like a piña colada (I think that’s what I was hoping for…), I started to really enjoy it. The coconut and pamplemousse (grapefruit) are my favorite La Croix flavors. I love the bubbles!

I have some magazine content to work on for a local freelance client and then I have plans to meet up with a friend for lunch before hittin’ the books to study for my personal training certification. I have a feeling this day is going to fly by!

Hope you have a great Wednesday!

    Buying a car is not for the faint of heart
    – it can cause you to break out in a sweat at the salesman runs his pitch on you.

    Don’t worry! The tips in this article will ensure you’re
    prepared for the battle which lies ahead, allowing you
    to get the bargain you deserve.

    I did a modified version of this upper body workout with 10 lb dumbbells last night while watching The Bachelor. I loved it and it even with the modifications it was still quite a challenge! With the hour on my stationary bike, I am feeling it in the best way today!
