Upper Body

Build the Base Up

19-Oct-2026

Instructor: Vytas //
Class Type: Strength //
Class Style: Bodyweight //
Difficulty: Beginner //
Body Focus: Upper Body //
Duration: 20 min //
Suggested Equipment: None

Twenty minutes of foundational, beginner-level upper-body strength using nothing but body weight. Vytas starts with mobility—reminding you that mobility is strength work too—then builds through controlled shapes that wake up the shoulders and rotator cuff. Beginner does not mean easy here; expect honest, steady work to build a strong upper-body base.
