Upper body workout perfectly combining dumbbell exercises and my favourite, push ups!! This push up and dumbbell workout will be particularly intense on the shoulders and triceps!

Each complex is 4 minutes in total... simply work though at a pace to suit you. Complete each exercise per sets and continue for the duration!

Following each complex, we go STRAIGHT into push ups! This is for 40 seconds but you may find you need a few seconds to get into the push up position and also let arms somehow regain feeling after the previous complex!

We are then onto 3 various exercises some of which are dumbbells and others bodyweight.

Towards the end, we can all look forward to an abs complex containing simple movements with the dumbbells to target the entire abs!

You will need a pair of dumbbells, a mat and the yoga block/book/stepper you have used previously in other workouts! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 10kg each and also 6kg each, however 1 pair is great, just work to your pace to suit your weights!
