I’m a fair weather runner. I don’t put myself through running in the rain, snow, cold weather or super hot weather. I guess you could say I’m a running diva- #sorrynotsorry. As I am not running many races requiring strict training at this point in my life, this works for me. In fact, I’ve realized that I enjoy running much more when I do it because I want to, not because I have to.

That said, the weather lately has been making me CRAVE running outside. Not only does it feel good to get outside for my workout, it also serves as a way to get a little bit of a tan 😉 Last week I ran a 5K and got some color- all during my lunch break. Win-Win! On top of that, I had enough time left over to do a little arm workout to round out my workout for the day.

All you need for this workout is a set of medium (or light) dumbbells and a resistance band. I also did this outside, but that’s optional 😉 Three- Four rounds and your arms will feel like they got their workout in, too!

I uploaded this demo video to help you see what the moves look like, as some of them are not commonly used on the blog. This is a great supplemental/finisher workout if you’re looking for a little extra, or it could certainly be done on its own if you’re looking for a strictly upper body-based workout.

As always, I love when I see that you’re trying these, so be sure to tag me @Burpeestobubbly

Questions for you: Do you run in any weather or are you a fair weather runner like I am? Do you like to workout outside?
