For best results, perform this workout 3 times weekly on alternate days combine with your cardio 3-4 times weekly for at least 40 minutes on the other days.

Choose LOW IMPACT cardio if you have delicate ankles / knees or if you are overweight: swimming, cycling, rowing, stepper, cross trainer or walk on the treadmill on an incline (Do not hold the handles!). Kickboxing is another good cardio to slim the upper body. Follow my Kickboxing exercises here:
