Welcome to the second installation of Summer of Dumbbells ☀️💪 The original challenge is over, but coordinate this appropriately with your summer vacation!
Here’s the deal:
10 weeks of workouts
5 new workouts per week
20 minutes or less
2 dumbbells only
Formats you love: AMRAPs, EMOMs, Rounds for Time
This round is about momentum — proving to yourself that even when life is packed with travel, cookouts, and chaos, you can stay consistent and keep moving forward. No gimmicks. No wasted time. Just simple, effective training that leaves you feeling strong, sculpted, and in control. But most importantly, consistent.
Grab your dumbbells. Clear 20 minutes. Let’s make this your strongest summer yet. 🚀
Nutrition Guidelines – Round 2
Fuel your body so you can perform, recover, and stay consistent all 10 weeks.
I'd recommend 13-15x your body weight in calories and .7 to 1g per lb of body weight for protein. Stick closer to 13x your body weight in calories if you're less active outside of your workouts or closer to 15x your body weight in calories if you're getting in a lot more summer activity.
Keep your hydration up — aim for half your body weight in ounces daily OR 100 oz, whichever is less.
⚠️ Note: These guidelines are general. Always follow your provider’s advice if you have specific medical or dietary needs.
