Seated upper body workout with weights video routine — Caroline Jordan

Whether you have a lower-body injury or you just need to exercise from a seated position, this upper body workout has it all. You’ll target all the major muscles in the upper body including the chest, back, shoulders and arms, as well as the core.

Since you’re sitting down the entire time, you can’t rely on any momentum or assistance from your lower body, so your upper body has to do all the work.

🛒 This workout uses dumbbells and bands. Here is where you can get my preferred brands:
Dumbbells: https://amzn.to/3vlpTh4
Assistance Bands: https://amzn.to/2UVE8fu
Bands with Handles: https://amzn.to/3euaZiu

The variety of moves in my seated upper body workout will keep your body guessing all while building strength and endurance. If you find any exercise doesn’t work for you, feel free to modify it, substitute something else, or skip it. Sit down on a bench, chair, step, or box, and grab a pair of dumbbells. Perform the following seated combination movement. Each movement should flow seamlessly into the next.
