Do you like strength training? If you’ve worked out with us before, you know that it is one of our favorite ways to train, and one that packs a significant punch.

Well, if you’re a strength training convert (or even if you’re not yet), here’s a great routine with a bit of a twist.

Alternating Repetition Upper Body Workout for Strength Coordination and Control.

One of the common misconceptions when it comes to strength training is that your goal should be to gain strength only. In reality, this should only be part of your goal. The more important piece of the puzzle is to focus on building control over that strength as well. Think functional fitness!

This short strength routine is challenging both physically and mentally, and is sure to help you build overall control and balance. There’s no warm up or cooldown included with this one, so this is a great, short routine that you can tack onto another workout. Add it to another upper body workout for a real burnout or get a nice strength challenge after finishing up a cardio routine.

However you use one, be sure to pay attention to your form and range of motion...it’s going to challenge your coordination, for sure!
