Savannah Prez is giving her followers a glimpse into her workout routine with a new upper body session. In a recent social media post, the fitness trainer demonstrates a full 15-minute workout in a sleek two-piece set, captioning the YouTube video, “HOW I TRAIN to build and maintain a muscular upper body.” Known for her dedication to fitness, Savannah regularly shares her routines, diet plans, and wellness tips with her audience, showing the hard work behind her sculpted physique. Her method combines heavy weights with a rep range of 8 to 12 reps and various set techniques like supersets and drop sets to maximize results. Alongside her commitment to fitness, she focuses on maintaining a balanced diet filled with wholesome foods. Here’s a closer look at how Savannah approaches her workout routines, diet, and self-care to stay in top shape year-round.
“I find that what works best for me is using a rep range of 8-12 reps; this allows me to go heavy on the weights. I also like to play around with supersets, drop sets and pyramid sets, and I limit my workouts to 4-5 exercises. I never go over that because adding more exercises feels like a waste of time to me, and I like to execute them correctly,” Savannah says about her method.
What is her secret to your incredible leg and glute development? “When I first started working out, I had no clue as to what would work best for me. I would search on YouTube for exercises that would help me add size to my legs. In the beginning, I worked out my quads three times per week, but they soon became so overdeveloped; that’s when I decided to change my workout routine. Now, I split my leg routine into three different workouts by focusing on one particular leg muscle per training session,” says Savannah.
- Leg Press: “There are a lot of variations for the leg press, and I like to mix up my foot positions on this exercise because it allows me to push myself really hard, and it enables me to experience great pumps,” Savannah says.
- Reverse Hack Squats: “I like that this exercise also has a lot of variations to it. When performing the reverse hack squat, I have a great mind-muscle connection for it, and because of this, I can really focus on my muscle contractions,” she explains.
- Walking Lunges: “I really love doing these for multiple reasons; I really feel it helps to improve my overall balance, stabilize my core, and it’s great for cardio! My favorite time to do walking lunges is at the end of my work out for a good burn,” Savannah adds.
“I prefer to stick with wholesome foods, and I try to limit the use of supplements,” Savannah told Simply Shredded, revealing a sample menu of what she eats in a day.

“I’ve always been passionate about pushing my body and my limits. Before I started working out, I used to play basketball. After ten years of basketball, I wanted to do something entirely different, but I had trouble committing to a scheduled training roster, that’s when I decided to try out a sport that I could do on my terms. When I first got into fitness it was recreational; I only worked out maybe twice a week,” Savannah told Simply Shredded about how she discovered bodybuilding.
