In general, women tend to hold more fatty mass in their upper bodies and sometimes it gets more difficult to strengthen and shape the torso. However, you have to work out hard to get the lean body you have always desired.

You can achieve gorgeous, lean muscles, by simply following these easy upper body workouts.

Find a comfortable standing position and grab a barbell with both hands while your wrists are turned outwards. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart. Keeping your elbows in place at your sides, start lifting the barbell’s weight up and in towards your body. Ease it back down and then repeat for 10 times.

Find a comfortable sitting position and grab a pair of barbells. Make sure your back muscles are tightened. Rest both arms, upturned, on your thighs/lap and get a firm grip on the barbell. Without lifting your elbows from their place on your lap, curl the weight of the barbell towards your body and then roll back out again. Repeat for 10 times.
