Day 8 of our 12 Days of Christmas. This upper body workout with dumbbells will TORCH the arms, shoulders, back & chest muscles. And... if you get bored easily with strength workouts you'll love this workout even more.

We hit all the muscles of the upper body in groupings of two, for a total of ten exercises. We start with your back muscles, move into your pecs, the biceps, triceps and end with your shoulders. And if that wasn't awesome enough we then ladder back up to exercise #1.

Another bonus to this workout, there are absolutely no push-ups and my buddy George pays us a visit near the end.

Tools: a pair of light & moderate dumbbells and access to a wall.
