12 MIN UPPER BODY WORKOUT - Intense Shoulders, Back, Chest, & Arms!

[@MadFit]

Hope you guys enjoyed this weighted upper body circuit! How did you do? Would you like to see more of this style? Let me know down below ❤️ Much love! Xx - Maddie

[@trinhv5012]

I wish you uploaded this just 30mins sooner😭. I just finished my morning workout doing your lower and upper body videos today, was looking for this kind of workout with dumbbells for total upper body. But I ended up doing your INTENSE back workout!

[@francescafanelli5598]

Absolutly! But also more dumbell and apartment friendly style workout! I love you so muchhhh❤️❤️❤️

[@tovameguira6381]

I would really like an intense 30 mins HIIT workout and a jump rope workout plzzzz!!!

[@allisonc5147]

Could you so Spanish songs? ILY! ♥️ Thanks for being a source of motivation!

[@haileynichelle8343]

Loved it! This came at the perfect time, just what I needed this morning. Things I loved: - Your focus on one exercise at a time. I was feeling exhausted and dragging myself to exercise this morning so I love your calm energy. - Speaking of energy, thank you for not yelling at us like a perky cheerleader squirrel🤣 I skipped over a couple other videos before coming here because I was annoyed by their frenetic energy and inauthenticity. So thank you for being authentic and soft-spoken☺ - The way you encourage proper form with verbal cues and steady pacing. -Your music has a good beat and yet also has a soothing unobtrusive element to it, perfect for a grouchy night owl with zero tolerance for repetitive or ear-grating music like me😘🦉 - The cute little timer in the corner. Even the sounds it makes are cute (not jarring). - Clean, pretty, and non-distracting background (plus PLANTS💚) - Exercises themselves were interesting. I've never heard of around-the-worlds or skull crushers, but I love them! - Well-timed rests and periods of no talking. I think some KZbinrs feel the need to talk the entire time and it's not really necessary. Looking forward to your next videos!💖

[@shamailafarooqui4233]

i just did this and i can't wait to feel the soreness in my body. Will sound weird, but i actually really like when my body is sore. It makes me feel like I accomplished something.

[@user-th5sy4be7k]

me too and i think the soreness is a good indicator of accomplishment, but make sure it's not soreness as a result of not cooling down! cooling down is equally as important as warming up + it prevents injury! maddie has a 5 min cool down and a 15 min cool down on her channel, and they're both wonderful. i wish you well in your workouts!

[@shamailafarooqui4233]

@@user-th5sy4be7k oh, thanks a lot for that. I'll check out the cool down videos. I didn't know not cooling down also causes soreness.

[@user-th5sy4be7k]

@@shamailafarooqui4233 of course! it's something to do with biology and ATP production in the muscles, but i won't bore you with that lol. good luck!

[@shamailafarooqui4233]

@@user-th5sy4be7k yeah, I understand the biology, but I assumed, resting would cause the same effect as cool down.

[@personpersonpeoplepeople]

Yeah, I feel the same way, even if I slack off all day and only workout. It's the easiest and the hardest way to cheer up tbh

[@hannahsiraj1332]

Hey Maddie! I am a swimmer and I used to swim twice a day everyday. However, when the rest of my swim season got cancelled I was so sad and I had to find a new way to workout. I stumbled upon your channel and I am so thankful I did. I did your workouts everyday and I have seen such a big improvement. Your workouts have made me so much stronger and now that I am back in the water I am as fast as I have ever been. Thank you so much for your workouts. I think you have saved my swim season and I am going to keep doing your workouts as much as I can. Thank you for saving my swim season and I will always have you in my thoughts. 💕💕💕

Hi Hannah! what dumbbells did you use? I have always been very weak and unconfident and really struggle very much. My mom told that this lesson will help me build very thick strong arms, great self worth and confidence! I am a man and did this lesson with my mom. It was really hard for me. I used half pound dumbbells throughout and stopped midway as my arms just gave up :( Is it very weak? My mom did the full lesson with 15 lbs dumbbells. It takes me 5-7 trips to carry the groceries while it takes my mom 1 trip.

[@squasi9157]

@@rupinjeremiah9589 it will take time to use heavier dumbbells ... keep at it and you will get there. the fact that you are even trying is commendable. it's so easy to compare yourself to others especially in the world of fitness, just stay dedicated and do what is working for you and you will build that confidence and strength :)

[@rupinjeremiah9589]

@@squasi9157 Thank you for your encouragement and guidance! It means a lot coming from such a strong person! What size dumbbells do you use? I am still struggling with 1 lb dumbbells and have not yet managed to last the full lesson 😟 I really want to be strong, muscular, and empowered like everyone here! If it is possible for me.

I love that the speed of her breaks are just as slow as the speed of the actual workout, unlike some other people’s. The breaks move so much faster than the workout. It’s so annoying.

[@MovewithJenn]

It actually gives you a chance to catch your breath!

[@coffeecrumbles]

Yess, other people really want to "push you" when you don't have the strength to be pushed 😂

[@anastaciazara1787]

Agreed. It's so nice that's all real-time. With other creators, I always have to hit the pause button, which is really annoying.

[@LittleLilaKatBoo]

Ikr some of them just go straight into the next workout

[@PurposefulPursuits]

I appreciate that you did this workout with dumbbells for those of us who don’t have a lot of equipment.

[@tianerma]

What I really like is that there is not to much talking...others videos talk,talk,and talk... Thank you for being the one for me.

[@roopam_mishra21]

You've made me so used to difficult workouts, this didn't feel a thing!

[@MovewithJenn]

woohoo! That's awesome!

[@TheNirynn1]

Increase the weights ahah it won't do a thing if you don't increase the weights according to your capacities! Youre probably stronger than you were before

[@Sam-ho6ik]

[@clara101]

this is my all time favorite arm workout! the time passes so quickly in this one and it's just the right amount of intensity for me

[@kayescherer2101]

Fabulous exercises for me. I know that using free weights to build up strength is very important for women, especially as we get older. After just a couple weeks of your short workouts for arms, back and upper body, my back is feeling good and looking more muscular. I am in my 70s and determined to do what I can to have good mobility, coordination, flexibility, strength for a good quality of life. Your varied workouts have become my go-to during COVID. Many thanks.

[@katherine-mb8vh]

Yaaay weighted upper body workouts are my absolute faves, I will never have enough of them! Thank you Maddie! 😍😍

You are sooo amazing !! Thank u for uploading so frequently and all for 0 costs! Just what I needed.

[@sharonpoole8656]

I know I am a wee bit late to the party but I am a long time out of exercise and your vids are keeping me motivated, thank you so much💪🏻❤️

[@priyanair9114]

I really enjoy these types of videos. Short and sweet. I’m trying to incorporate 10 min of arms with weights into my daily routine and this was perfect (minus the push ups that I still can’t do but I just do a modified version) definitely more videos like this.

[@ras_g3585]

Same i couldnt do push up as well. 😅

[@ElishaaLi]

I actually really loved this superset style!! It went by SO fast!! Maybe it was because my dumbbells were kinda light but still I’d love to see more of this style!

This is a great workout! Perfect length for the time I've got in the morning. The music is too loud though and it's hard to hear the timer. During the pushup sets, I'm not looking at the TV so it's helpful if the clock ticks are much louder than the background music. Thanks!!!

Appreciate the paired suggested workouts in the description!!

[@jennyb5385]

I really like this format. It's easier to do repetitions in sets of 2 rather than rounds of 5-7. the sets feel quick and varied. If there are 2 or 3 rounds of the same 5-7 exercises, I often want to quit after the first round/feel demotivated having to do the same thing all over.

She has some beginner videos. Search MadFit beginner. I didn’t do this when I started working out, but I wish I worked on balance and overall core strength. You really should, it’ll help you out SO MUCH. Also, try no equipment upper and lower body workouts alternately to get a strength base, don’t push yourself to use weights when you’re not ready. To keep yourself motivated, follow fitness influencers on Instagram and set notification bells on for all the fitness people you like.
