Upper body complexes of two exercises with dumbbells and bodyweight, 2 minutes each with reps shown on screen.

Caroline Girvan puts every muscle of the upper body under tension with dumbbell and bodyweight moves grouped into two-exercise complexes, each lasting 2 minutes with 30 seconds of rest. Reps of 5, 10 or 15 stay on screen throughout, and hopping back can be swapped for stepping into plank. The video runs about 39 minutes, using 10 kg and 4 kg dumbbells.

Who Is It For?

Lifters with a couple of pairs of dumbbells who want a structured, balanced upper body session that mixes strength and bodyweight work.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal without dumbbells or if wrists and shoulders are sore, since decline push-ups, presses and plank moves load both joints.

Key Benefits

Works the whole upper body with balanced two-exercise complexes, building or maintaining muscle with on-screen rep counts to guide you.

Things to Keep in Mind

Choose dumbbells you can control, step back into plank instead of hopping if needed and ease off if your wrists or shoulders complain.
