(sexy) Upper Body + Abs‼️

If you need a gym bestie who will help you achieve your own hourglass, tap the link in my bio for 1:1 help babe! I’m running a ✨30% OFF ✨ September special for my girlies who are trying to get it right and tight before the holidays hit ❤️💯

LOVVVEDD this one 😍 it was so much fun to record and execute… and you can tell by my back and ab gains that workouts like this do exactly what they are supposed to do 🤏🏾🤏🏾❤️

As always, lower the weights and increase the reps when working your upper body (I’m using 5 lb dumbbells here). You can also substitute low weight bands for the dumbbells (which makes this workout travel friendly🏝️✈️)

BTW…Here are 5 tips to create the abs + upper silhouette of your dreams:✨

🎯 WORK YOUR ABS IN ISOLATION .. personally, I work abs about 3 times a week for 15-20 min.
🎯 AVOID HEAVY OBLIQUE EXERCISES.. this is the fastest way to thicken your waist and end up like SpongeBob Square Pants🤷🏾‍♀️
🎯 USE LIGHT TO MODERATE WEIGHTS on UPPER BODY DAY +HIGH REPS—this is just a preference.. I’ve tried heavy weights on upper body day and didn’t like that look on me
🎯 THAT SEXY LINE DOWN YOUR BACK is a product of fat loss+cardio+back exercises +lower body exercises (like RDLs, back hyperextensions and good mornings)
🎯 DIET IS EVERYTHING (limit processed foods, stay at slight caloric deficit for fat loss or maintenance/slight caloric surplus for muscle building, focus on nutrient dense/high protein/high fiber foods and drink your water)!

It had to be said 🗣️🗣️🗣️

We dress for us, not for y’all💅🏾💕💪🏾💯
