This is a full body dumbbell circuit program designed to help you build muscle efficiently in under an hour at the gym or in your home gym. It is a perfect program for busy parents or individuals with limited time, but still want to lift weights without having to set up barbells and machines all over the gym. You will get your heart rate up and hit a great full body pump during these circuits.

You will need a small variety of dumbbells (heavy, moderate, and light), a few resistance bands, and a pull-up bar for this program to work best.
