20 Minute Dumbbell Upper Body Circuit Workout | Caroline Girvan
Just over 20 minutes. Back. Shoulders. Chest. Arms… all worked but in a very slow and controlled format. This is a PERFECT upper body session to save for those days when you just want to work hard for that shorter duration! All you will need for this upper body workout is some dumbbells and your mat! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 15kg! However I reduce to 9kg each for the SHOULDER PRESS & ARNOLD PRESS! The timer will be on for 40 seconds of work, 20 seconds rest for most of the exercises within the circuit, however the PULLOVER will be performed for 1 minute duration and 10 seconds rest before the next exercise, being the SHOULDER PRESS! We perform this circuit 3 times then we have the finisher! BENT OVER ROW CHEST PRESS PULLOVER *1 MINUTE SHOULDER PRESS PUSH UPS ARNOLD PRESS FINISHER! 40/20/40 DEADSTOP PUSH UPS! DIAGONAL DIAMOND PRESS DEADSTOP PUSH UPS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 You will notice there are no arm specific exercises however these are compound movements so the biceps and triceps are involved during the back, shoulder and chest exercises. If you have been training with me for awhile, you will have noticed I don’t train arms that often as you may think. Infact I have gained strength and muscle in triceps and biceps mostly from rows, presses and push up variations! 20 minutes. Upper body. Done! 😅 Cx Always ensure you warm up before any workout.

IRON Series 30 Min Superset Glutes and Hamstrings Workout | 23
Supersets today!! I hope you are ready to set your hamstrings and glutes alight! Primarily compound movements with some bodyweight towards the end, we will place demand on the hamstrings, glutes and core throughout to warrant the body to build muscle in the lower body. Supersets, so no specific rest inbetween each set but as always, take those extra seconds to ensure you feel safe, stable and proper alignment before you lift/lower. The dumbbells I am using for your reference is 1 x 30kg dumbbell. I also use 2 x 15kg dumbbells for the RDLs. Aside from your weights, you will need a mat and a chair for hip thrusts. I also use a glute band (fabric with high resistance) placed just above my knees! The timer will be on for 45 seconds per exercise with the superset with then 30 seconds rest inbetween each superset!
