This is a nice little workout that targets your arms but also works your whole body. Doing arm circles while in squat position will get those legs trembling, and the last three moves are in plank, which works the back and core too.
This video is kind of cool because it has lots of levels of difficulty, so everybody can do it. You can also do the workouts with absolutely no equipment, and it will be sufficiently challenging. Adding equipment gives it that extra bump of difficulty, however; I don’t have a tier-X strap (who the heck does?!), but I do have a pair of 2-pound weights, and let me tell you, they really make a difference.
There’s no warm-up for this workout, but it starts out pretty simple, and, unless you use the strap, the moves aren’t very intense, so you might get away with starting your workout with these exercises if you’re short on time.
