Arms, shoulders, chest and back in 30 minutes with dumbbells, two circuits and a Tabata finisher.
This session works the arms, shoulders, chest and back through two dumbbell circuits, each followed by a quick plank burnout, before a Tabata finisher and a cool-down stretch. The pace is steady and controlled, with an emphasis on time under tension, good form and posture. The video runs about 31 minutes.

Who Is It For?
Anyone with a few pairs of dumbbells who wants a structured, controlled upper body workout focused on strength and definition.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal without dumbbells, or if wrist and shoulder strain is an issue, as the plank burnouts and finisher load both joints.
Key Benefits
Strengthens the arms, shoulders, chest and back, and builds lean muscle with controlled reps and plenty of time under tension.
Things to Keep in Mind
Pick dumbbells that let you keep good form, and ease off the plank moves if your wrists or shoulders feel strained.
