TapouT XT Day 2 Strength Force Upper Body and Ultimate Abs Workout

Strength Force Upper Body Workout

Just like what the name says, Strength Force Upper is about building upper body strength and endurance.  The muscles that you focus on during the 55 minute workout are

• Shoulders
• Chest
• Triceps
• Biceps
• Some back

This workout really leaves you with some sore shoulders with the amount of push ups and shoulder band work you do.

Favorite Exercise for the Strength Force Upper Workout

The push-up upper elbow strike forces you to keep your core tight to keep your balance with an explosive upper elbow strike.  You do both sides in one set one after the other.

Start with a Push-Up

Do a Upper Elbow Strike at the Top

Ultimate Abs

Ultimate Abs is a 15 minute continuous ab workout.  There is a little bit of lower back emphasis in the form of bridging.  A lot of the workout is a variation of crunches.

Favorite Exercise for Ultimate Abs

The Crunch Elbow is a combination of doing a crunch with 2 elbow strikes on the way to the top and 2 elbow strikes on the way back down.
