As a Sports Science graduate and a feminist at heart, I firmly believe that we are living in an era of constant change and new ideas on how to improve our quality of life through exercise and healthy lifestyle habits.
My mission is to explore the various aspects of what makes women healthier, fulfilled, and happy, and to share my knowledge and expertise with everyone.
In this article, I want to discuss the importance of having the right upper body workout. A good fitness routine not only keeps your body healthy and strong but also helps you maintain a positive mental state. One key area that requires attention is the upper body, which plays a significant role in maintaining posture, strength, and flexibility.
I’m going to share my 6 all time favorites upper body workouts that keep me strong and feeling great. I’ve been passionate about fitness for as long as I can remember, and over the years, I’ve discovered perfect exercises that have helped me achieve my fitness goals.
- Bent-over Row: This exercise targets the back, shoulders, and biceps. It helps improve posture, strengthen the upper back, and reduce the risk of back pain. It’s also great for building bicep and shoulder muscles, which are essential for lifting and carrying.
- Shoulder Front Raises: The shoulder front raise is an excellent exercise for strengthening the shoulders, improving posture, and reducing the risk of shoulder injuries. It also helps build the anterior deltoid muscles, which are essential for lifting and carrying.
- Rear Delt Fly: The rear delt fly targets the back of the shoulders. It helps strengthen the rear deltoid muscles, which are essential for shoulder stability and injury prevention. It’s also great for improving posture and reducing the risk of back pain.
- Tricep Overhead: The tricep overhead exercise targets the triceps muscles. It’s perfect for building strong triceps, which are essential for pushing and lifting. It also helps improve posture and reduce the risk of shoulder injuries.
- Bicep Curl: The bicep curl is an excellent exercise for building strong biceps, which are essential for lifting and carrying. It also helps improve posture and reduce the risk of shoulder injuries.

Incorporating these upper body workouts into your exercise routine will not only help you achieve a stronger and healthier upper body but also improve your overall fitness and well-being. However, it’s important to note that before starting any new exercise routine, it’s always recommended to consult a fitness professional to ensure that you are performing the exercises correctly and safely.
