Short Upper Body Workouts

[exercise-lover]

Today, I did the Time Saver 8 premix from the ICE Bootcamp DVD. It had a warm up, upper body mixed with abs, and a stretch. It came in about 30 minutes and was just right for a busy day. I'd love to know if anyone has any favorites that have upper body and are around 30 minutes. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hardcore Muscle Max has an upper body Premix I like. The push/pull option is 33 minutes.

Stacked sets upper body has a premix that's single sets of the exercises, comes in under 30 mins

So happy to have these recommendations -- thanks! I found another that is good. Max Intensity Strength has a 22-min UB workout. If you add the core, it's a gem. I took my two rowdy bird dogs for a long walk and then did this. Perfect! Keep the recommendations coming. I'd love to have a long list to choose from.

Body Max 2 has an Upper body section that is about 22 minutes followed by 9 minutes of core work.

PERFECT! Thanks for that tip. Can't wait to try it. I love Body Max 2.

I'm in search of the same. Discovered a premix in the Strong and Sweaty collection that fit the bill. I believe it was on the Total Body Giant Sets DVD. It was the Upper Body time saver premix. Was a nice upper body workout under 30 min. It was a good workout.

Thanks! I love S and S Total Body Giant Sets. I'll check out that premix.

I like the new PHA 3 UB premix under Timesaver premixes. That's another for our list! It even gets the heart rate up a bit!

Hi exercise-lover,
Two more to consider are both from the Intensity Series;

Muscle Endurance ( ME ) has a PREMIX called UpperBody Split which is 44 min. long, but if you FF past the abs , it would be just 35 minutes.

Cardio & Weights has a PREMIX called Timesaver Upper Body Heavy Weights that is only 18 minutes long- BUT it does not include a warm-up ( does include a stretch). Soooo... the way I use this one for a short UB day is do the main workout warm-up, then go to the PREMIX- I do the premix twice and just do the stretch once at the end. This makes the total workout about 41 minutes.

Another DVD which I use a lot this way is the Power Hour DVD. These are a little longer:
MIS -( skip the Legs and Abs ), for warm-up UB and stretch is 46 min.
PH- ( skip the Legs and Abs ), for warm-up UB and stretch is 39 min.
Body Max ( skip the Legs and Abs ), for warm-up UB and stretch is 38 min.

Love these !

I did the Upper Body Premix from LITE Pyramid Pump yesterday, and while that one is a little longer (44 minutes), there were also premixes for just Pyramid Up Upper Body, and Pyramid Down Upper Body. Those were about 35-30 minutes.

And that reminded me that the original Pyramid Upper Body DVD also has premixes for Pyramid Up and Pyramid Down that I think come in at about 30-35 minutes.
