Standing strength training with one dumbbell for biceps, back and glutes, osteoporosis-friendly with no spinal rounding or twisting.
This standing strength session builds muscle and bone with a single dumbbell (about 10 pounds or 4.5 kg in the video; a kettlebell also works), focusing on biceps, back and glutes. Four blocks mix one-sided and two-sided exercises, each block is done twice, with a full-body warm-up and a stretching cool-down. The video runs about 35 minutes.
