Full Body Dumbbell Workout

Workout Difficulty

Workout Guidelines

A full body workout that emphasizes using simple dumbbell movements to keep your heart rate up and you moving. Rest periods between exercises are shorter at 45 seconds. Beginners do one cycle through the exercises no more than 3 days a week. Keep the weights light so you can complete the required number of repetitions for each set without failing.

Use this workout if you’re new to weight training or have had an extended layoff from working out. This workout can be modified by adding an additional set to each exercise when your fitness level improves.

Equipment Needed

  • Dumbbells or Adjustable Dumbbells
  • Weight Bench
  • Exercise Ball
