20 minute upper body workout. You no longer have excuses!

Upper body exercises

Sculpt your upper body in just 20 minutes. If possible. We tell you how: Do this routine twice and finish with a brisk 5-minute walk.

1. Push-ups

Start on all fours with your hands on the floor, slightly wider than vertical with your shoulders, but in line with them.
The body should form a straight line from the shoulders to the ankles.
Squeeze your abs to the maximum and keep them tight.
Lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor, making sure your elbows are tucked in close to your torso.
Pause and return to the starting position.
Do 20 reps.

2. Knee lifts

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, facing forward, and arms hanging by your sides.
Jump from one foot to the other at the same time raising your knees as high as possible, it is advisable to hip height.
Touch the ground with the balls of your feet.
Every time you touch the ground with both feet is one repetition.
Do 20 reps.

3. Burpees

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides.
Lower into a squat position with your hands flat on the ground in front of you.
Push your legs back to the push-up position and lower your chest to the floor.
Return to position two, pushing both feet forward to return to a squat.
Jump up and raise both hands above your head.
Do 10 repetitions.

4. Jumping jacks
