Not quite ready to pick up a barbell?
Don't have time to make it to the gym?
This 6 week guide will target your lower body, upper body, and core all with a set of dumbbells. If you only have one set of dumbbells that is okay. However, I recommend having a light, medium, and heavy set. Also having a bench would be a great addition. However, if you don't have. a bench no worries. Just grab a chair or utilize your couch.
With only working with dumbbells workouts can seem very repetitive. So I've split this program into two phases. Phase 1 (week 1-3) will challenge your endurance. You will utilize your bodyweight and light to medium weights. The split for Phase 1 includes 2 lower body, 2 upper body, & 1 full body.
Phase 2 (week 4-6) will build upon Phase 1 while introducing hypertrophy, lower rep counts, and working till failure. Phase 2 includes 2 lower body, 2 upper body, and 1 full body day.
The overall goal of this program is to show you that working minimum equipment doesn't have to slow down your progress. You can get a challenging and enjoyable workout at home, in a gym with limiting equipment, or while traveling with simple equipment. So grab your weight and LET'S WORK!!!
