Ten dumbbell combination exercises in about 20 minutes, with no squats or lunges, knee friendly and osteoporosis friendly.
Ten combination exercises with light dumbbells, around 1 to 2 kg, give you a full-body workout with no squats or lunges. Each combo runs 60 seconds with 15 seconds of rest, warm-up and cool-down are included, and you can repeat for a second set if you want more. Keep a chair nearby for support; the video runs about 21 minutes.
Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
Seniors and beginners who want a full-body strength session that is gentle on the knees, at home with light dumbbells.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal if you want a high-intensity or cardio workout, or if you have no light dumbbells and nothing to lean on.
Key Benefits
Builds full-body strength without squats or lunges and avoids rounding or twisting the spine, which makes it osteoporosis friendly.
Things to Keep in Mind
Keep a chair within reach for balance, use light weights you can control and check with your doctor or physio if you have knee or bone issues.
