Upper Body – Intensity Home workout

Fitness centers are wonderful because there is motivation all around, every weight training tool you can imagine and usually someone available to ask questions.

When I left the fitness industry these were the things I missed the most, however, I love working out at home.  It’s convenient, saves me travel time, I can workout in only a sports bra and do it any time of the day that it fits in.  So, if you’re a home workout warrior like myself check out one of my favorite 20 min upper body – shoulder sculpting workouts.
