A no-repeat full body dumbbell workout built on compound moves: 20 minutes with weights and a mat.

Caroline Girvan strings together compound dumbbell moves such as rows, squats, presses, lunges and RDLs, loading the quads, hamstrings, glutes, shoulders, back and chest while the arms and core assist. Most exercises run 40 seconds on and 20 off, and the two closing core moves last 60 seconds each. The video runs about 27 minutes.

🏋️ Dumbbells🧘 Mat

Who Is It For?

Lifters with a few dumbbells and a mat who want an efficient full body muscle-building session in about 20 minutes.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal without dumbbells, or if you are brand new to lifting, as the session is built around loaded compound moves.

Key Benefits

Loads all the major muscle groups in one efficient session, supporting muscle growth with compound moves and a clear work-rest timer.

Things to Keep in Mind

Pick weights that allow good form on rows, lunges and RDLs, and keep your core braced and back neutral on renegade rows and push-ups.
