🏋️♀️ Full Body Workout 💪 Build Muscle & Strength ⏱️ 30 Minutes 🔩 Dumbbells Only 🏠 Home or Gym Friendly
Challenge yourself with the right dumbbell weight - the last two reps of each set should be tough but doable with proper form. When those final reps start feeling easy, it's time to level up your weights!
1️⃣ COMBO SET ONE Alternating Arnold Press 15lb/6.5kg (my weight per dumbbell for reference only) Goblet squat 40lb/18kg Pronated grip row 25lb/11kg Dumbbell waiter’s curl 20lb/9kg
2️⃣ COMBO SET TWO Alternating chest press 25lb/11kg Glute bridge 40lb/18kg Skull crushers 12.5lb/5.5kg V-sit twist (bodyweight)
COOL DOWN
📌 ALTERNATING ARNOLD PRESS - palms face in at the bottom, rotate the wrist so palm faces out at the top, reverse on the way down. When alternating, each side gets slightly longer rest between reps which allows most people to pick a more challenging dumbbell weight!
📌 DUMBBELL WAITER’S CURL - don’t let the weight bend the palms back, keep some tension in the wrists. Dumbbell top stays flat as the biceps curl the weight up.
I have a full time career outside fitness, children still at home and a lot of ‘livin to do so my workouts need to be SHORT but EFFECTIVE. I’m a certified personal trainer and an AB-solute NERD 🤓 when it comes to exercise science which is why results are this great, in only half the time!
Weight workouts using combo sets are insanely time efficient which improve consistency, helping you reach your goals faster than using traditional/boring straight sets. The exercises in each combo involve different muscle groups so shoulders, back and chest are resting while working legs, for example.
Complete three, 30 minute full body workouts each week, leaving a recovery day between sessions. Notice I didn’t say “rest day”. Active recovery includes any form of movement, including walking. Movement increases blood flow, delivering oxygen to sore muscles helping them to recover faster and feel better, sooner!
