Arms, shoulders, chest and back in two dumbbell circuits, with a warm-up and cool-down stretch in 25 minutes.
Heather Robertson takes you through two dumbbell circuits, each working 40 seconds with 20 seconds of rest for two rounds, mixing rows, curls, presses, raises and plank moves. A warm-up opens the session and a cool-down stretch closes it. You need a mat and dumbbells in light, medium or heavy weights.

Who Is It For?
Anyone with a mat and a few pairs of dumbbells who wants a structured upper body strength session to sculpt and build strength.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal without dumbbells or if wrist and shoulder strain is an issue, as the plank rows and walking planks load those joints.
Key Benefits
Builds and sculpts the arms, shoulders, chest and back with dumbbell circuits, plus a warm-up and a cool-down stretch built in.
Things to Keep in Mind
Choose weights that let you keep good form, move through the warm-up and ease off the plank moves if your wrists or shoulders feel strained.
