Improve Upper Body Endurance (Intermediate Level)

Join me (Mike - Physiotherapist) for a new Strength Saturday Exercise Session (#7). Where we work the endurance of our Upper Body!

This week we are going to continue working our muscular endurance but this time for the upper body. Or more specifically the muscles of the chest, the back, the shoulders, and the arms by doing exercises for higher repetitions, with a resistance band and hand weights.

Muscular endurance for the upper body is required in your daily life when doing tasks that use the upper body for prolonged periods (eg. carrying shopping bags) and is also good for your posture.

Again… If you’re a beginner to these exercises, start with the first set and do what you can. Over time keep challenging yourself to do a little more. Gradual progressions!

So let’s get moving!
