    Upper Body Circuit in less Than 10 Minutes

    Video Transcript

    OBI OBADIKE: What's going on?

    So you're in the gym.

    You're trying to figure out, what should I do?

    I'm standing next to all these machines here.

    I'm going to show you an incredible machine circuit training routine that's fabulous.

    Now, I'm standing next to the seated row.

    Seated row is going to be working my back and my lats give me that V, small little V shape action going.

    Make sure your legs are on the pad.

    You're holding on to here.

    Make sure your back is straight, and then you're just squeezing.

    So you're breathing.

    Next exercise, we're going to do the tricep extension.

    That is working our tricep muscle.

    Feet are flat, shoulder width apart, elbows are on the pad, and then we're just-- OK.

    Next exercise is the bicep curl.

    We're working our biceps, that muscle right there.

    Stand here.

    Biceps, elbows on the pad.

    Feet are shoulder width apart.

    Lift, hold, come back down.

    Lift up, hold, come back down.

    So we did biceps, we did triceps, and we did our back.

    You can do these, I would say, three to four sets, 10 to 12 reps, or 12 to 15 reps going back and forth, boom, boom, boom, boom.

    You can get this done in less than 10 minutes.

    Great machine circuit workout.
