But, a couple of weeks ago, I was invited for a personal training session atCalcot and Spa’sbrand new fitness centre – the Grain Store – where I was taken through an 8-minute shoulder workout and, I can honestly say, it was one of the hardest sessions I’ve done in a long time. Maybe even one of the hardest I’veeverdone. If you’re pushed for time but need a speedy workout that’ll leave your shoulders swole, this is it.

The 8-minute session from Calcot Personal Trainer, Cody Lewin, was an AMRAP workout, which stands for ‘as many rounds as possible’. He gave me four exercises – dumbbell thrusters, dumbbell overhead carries, dumbbell lunges and sled push – that I had to complete for a set amount of reps/or distance, for as many rounds as I could within my 8-minute time cap.
Ready to give the 8-minute challenge a go yourself? Grab apair of dumbbells. Here’s the workout:
If you’re trying this at home, but have no sled, fill up a large rucksack with some books or weights, attach a rope, and walk backwards. If your gym doesn’t have one, head on over to the cable machines, pop it to its lowest setting, attach the weight belt and walk backwards.
