Workout Description​

The following workout is designed for those who only have access to a set of dumbbells.
It’s perfect for those who work out at home, travel and are on the road a lot, or beginners who are new to weight lifting.
It can be performed as a complete workout program for up to 8 weeks. At that point you may want to consider increasing the volume of the workouts or change up your routine to include more of a variety of equipment.
This program calls for you to work out 3 times a week. Since these workouts are full body workouts, it is best to have a rest day in between your work out days.
For example, you could perform this program on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This will give your body enough rest to recover in between workouts.
Be sure to track your rest periods during your workouts. The rest time in between sets for this program should be between 30-60 seconds.
Feel free to add cardio and ab specific training as you see fit. I’d recommend HIIT after your workouts on your work out days and a lower intensity form of cardio on your off/recovery days.
If you have any questions about this program, please feel free to ask in the comments section below!
After you've finished this workout program, move on to this 4 day dumbbell only workout program.
