10 Min Toned Arms Workouts | With Weights| No Repeat is a short but tough upper body strength workout from Michelle Briehler. This is more of an endurance level workout, which means you cannot lift very heavy. Due to the length, it works perfectly as a finisher workout, which is how I used it this morning. I did a very tough upper body strength workout from Caroline Givan and I used this as a finisher. My arms and shoulders were already fried from Caroline’s workout before I even started this one. So this really finished them off. It is a perfect little finisher workout.
This workout is made up of 2 circuits or blocks. The first block contains 5 exercises. Each exercise is done for 50 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. The second block contains 8 exercises. Each exercise is done for 30 seconds with no rest/recoveries between exercises. There is a timer in the upper left hand corner of the screen counting down the intervals and recoveries. There are no previews, so it’s good to have all of your dumbbells close by so you can swap them out quickly.
