35-Min Upper Body Push + Cardio

Get ready to push your limits with this intense Upper Body Push + Cardio workout! 💪 This session targets your chest, shoulders, and triceps, combining strength moves with cardio bursts to keep your heart rate up and your muscles burning. Whether you have a range of dumbbells or just a few weights like me, you'll still get an amazing workout!

Equipment Needed:

  • Light set of dumbbells

  • Medium-heavy set of dumbbells

  • (I’m using 5- and 20-lb dumbbells today. For some exercises, I’ve substituted a 15-lb kettlebell, but you can stick with dumbbells!)

Pro Tip: The last 2-3 reps of each exercise should feel challenging—that means you’ve chosen the right weights! 🏋️‍♀️
