Full Body Dumbbell Workout

This full body dumbbell workout takes about thirty minutes (and that includes a lot of exercise breakdowns in the video).  It starts with heavier leg work coupled with plyometrics, then moves into Compound Exercises that will work both your upper and lower body, before we finally move to the floor to work our glutes and core.  The workout decreases in intensity as the workout goes on.  Sounds good, right?

TRX Ab Workout –  Or just an ab workout 😉

Are you ready to work your abs, really engage your Transverse Abdominus (just a heads up, I’m pretty obsessed with this muscle, ESPECIALLY for postpartum mamas!), and even get a burn in your upper body?  Then check out this quick trx ab workout circuit that is done entirely on TRX straps.   (Full length demo at bottom of post!)

 

No straps?  No problem!

You can do this two other ways:

  • Use a stability ball.  This will make it harder and for the mountain climbers, just drop your feet off the ball and do them with your feet on the floor.
  • Use a set of sliding discs (I use these sliding discs, which work on carpet or hard flooring) and do these on the floor.  This is an easier modification.
  • Use paper plates or socks instead of sliding discs!
