Training the upper body, especially the core, back, shoulders and wrists, is vital to stay healthy. Bodyweight workouts such as this 15-minute blast can help you become stronger and even improve joint health in your wrists, thanks to the (gradual) increased load on the joints. And sure, these exercises also enhance body composition, which can boost confidence.
