How is the program structured? This program is a Full-Body Program using only dumbbells!! Each week you will have 5 separate workouts to complete.
The workouts go in this order:
Day 1 - Full Body
Day 2 - Legs + Booty
Day 3 - Upper Body + Core
Day 4 - Legs + Booty
Day 5 - Upper Body + Core
Each workout will be less than 45 minutes, with most being around 30 or less.
The workouts go in a circuit-style. You will be counting repetitions for most exercises, although sometimes an exercise may be timed.
This is ALL LEVELS. Please choose your dumbbell weight for your own personal fitness level!
What is the skill-level of this program? This program is designed to be ALL LEVELS. Please choose a dumbbell weight that fits your fitness level! I use a set of 15-lb dumbbells, for reference. And those get heavy for me on some of the days!
Here are some of my suggestions:
Beginner [5-lbs to 10-lbs]
Intermediate [10-lbs to 20-lbs]
Advanced [20-lbs to 30-lbs]
Please do not try to use a weight that you are not ready for. This can lead to serious injuries! If you are unsure, my suggestion is to go and try out a few different weights so you know what you can handle.
I do not recommend anyone to do this program if you have elbow, severe wrist, or severe knee problems.
How should I schedule the program? Try to follow along with day 1 to day 5 of each week! You can either do each day one after the other OR my suggestion is to start by taking a rest day after your full body days (day 1).
