Total Body Dumbbell Circuit
Happy Free Workout Friday to YOU!
Hope you are ready for a fast and fun workout to try this weekend. Make sure you drop a comment below, shoot an email, or shout out on social!
Today, I have a quick circuit for you to do in your own home (unless you want to show off your new workout clothes at the gym) that will ignite your major muscles, heat up your core, burn body fat and have you feeling FABULOUS all weekend.
What you will need:
- Dumbbells are something of the heavy variety (large canned goods, water jugs, pets, children, etc.). Make sure that the weight challenges you.
- Something to step UP on to. You can use that fancy step you bought in the 80’s OR you can use stairs, a coffee table, or even your couch (no shoes for that one).
- A stopwatch or Tabata Timer. I use the Tabata APP

This circuit consists of 8 exercises total and you will repeat the circuit 3-4 times (4 for more advanced).
Set your timer (or check your stopwatch) for 40 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest.
Take 5 full minutes to WARM UP.
Jog, jump rope, do some arm swings, warm up your hips and shoulders….never work out cold, even short workouts.
One of my fave warm ups can be found HERE.
The Workout:
- Stiff Legged Dumbbell Dead Lift
- Wide Legged Dead Lift with Bicep Curl at the top
- Alternating step up (more advanced, use dumbbells)
- High Knee Jog
- Walk Out Push-up
- Chest Press with Bridge Hip Lift
- Plank with opposite arm/leg extension(can sub Bird/Dog)
- Squat with a Shoulder Press
Work as hard as you can (with good form) through each exercise. Your 10 seconds of “rest” will allow time to get ready for the next. Allow yourself 30-60 seconds to recover (drink water, BCAA’s) in between circuits.
By the time you’re done, you’ll be nice and toasty PLUS you will have burned through breakfast Image may be NSFW.
