Gabrielle Union’s Workout Will Give You Toned, Tight Arms

Gabrielle Union has never been shy about sharing her secrets to a bangin� bod. The 44-year-old actress loves posting snippets of her grueling workouts to Instagram, and on Wednesday morning, she treated us to an Insta�story of her favorite�go-to exercise regimen.

This 7-move circuit routine�especially targets the star�s shoulders and back�so she�ll look extra fit for backless gowns on the red carpet this summer. Union has previously chronicled her quest to �build a booty,� as she put it, so her trainer threw in�a few glute-toning moves too.

Think you can handle Union�s workout? We say bring it on. But trust us,�you�ll definitely be feeling the burn once you finish.

Rope Shoulder Pulls

Union captioned this image �25 reps of rope shoulder pulls =�sexy shoulders,� and we can see why. It�ll seriously work your shoulders and upper back. Stand with your legs slightly bent and back straight. Hold a cable rope in both hands and pull toward your chest. Push the rope back in, then�repeat. (Union did 25 reps.)

Dumbbell Front Raise

Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing in. Raise your arms straight in front of you and lower once they�re at shoulder level. Make sure your arms don�t go above 90 degrees. Repeat.

TRX Squats with Thigh Band

The caption says this is Union�s warm up,�but to us it looks like the main event. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Holding�a TRX suspension rope, do a low squat, making sure your knees don�t sneak past your toes. To add a little extra fire, slip a resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees.

Suspended Thigh Pulses

Stay in a squat�position holding a TRX rope. With a resistance band around your thighs, pulse your legs in and out, keeping feet still. Judging by Union�s expression here, this will really pack a punch, but it�ll do wonders for your posterior.

Kettlebell Squats

Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Hold a kettlebell with both hands between your legs. Squat with your back straight, making�sure your knees don�t go past your toes. Repeat.

Medicine Ball Throw

Standing with one foot in front of the other, back straight and knees slightly bent, hold a medicine ball in both hands. Making sure you pull it across your whole body, throw the ball against�a nearby wall and catch it. Repeat.
