As long as you have a set of dumbbells, you can get an incredible workout in ANYTIME ANYWHERE!
I’m extremely proud of this DB only program. I guarantee you will not find more creative, well-designed, or EFFECTIVE programming out there using just two DBs!!
What are you waiting for?!?! LET THE GAINS BEGIN!!!
FeaturesWarm-Up

20 walking lunges 10 air squats 20 reverse lunges in place (bodyweight) 10 big and slow mountain climbers 20 walking lunges w/ a twist over front leg 10 scorpions lying on your back
Strength Circuit
B
EMOM x14: Odd) 10-12 DB front squats w/2 DBs (45/30) Even) 12-15 DB russian twists (down and back=1) *If you only have one DB, then load up a backback with weight/bottles of water for additional weight and wear it on your back while performing the squats. Alternatively, doing DB goblet squats w/one DB only will suffice. *7x through each exercise
