A full body standing workout with dumbbells and no squats or lunges, to build strength, balance and core stability.

This knee-friendly full body session skips squats and lunges and uses moderate dumbbells (the instructor uses 5 lb). After a long warm-up, each exercise is done twice, with an option to level up the second time, on a 45-second timer with 15 seconds of rest. Stretches close the video, which runs about 34 minutes.
