Sometimes the best workouts are the ones that require minimal equipment, right? Well, that’s exactly why I created this series of workouts that only require a set of dumbbells, which means you can break a sweat just about anywhere. Whether it’s a fitness center, hotel gym, or your living room, these workouts have got you covered!

Each of these workouts combine a number of my favorite multi-joint exercises that are guaranteed to challenge your entire body from head-to-toe and keep your heart rate up while building muscle at the same time. All six exercises are super efficient and arranged into three separate workouts, each with a different rep scheme and duration. All you need is a medium-weight set of dumbbells, a chair/bench (or coffee table), and a little bit of space and you’re good to go! Happy sweating!

6 Dumbbell Exercises

WORKOUT 1

Third Time’s a Charm

Set a timer and perform each of the exercises listed below for 60 seconds. Move from one exercise to the next without rest. Push yourself (high-intensity is key), but keep a consistent pace since six minutes can be a long time. After completing all 6 movements, rest for 60 seconds and repeat the workout from the top (starting with Overhead Walking Lunges) two more times for a total of 3 rounds.

3 rounds – 60 seconds each:

Overhead Walking Lunges

Man Makers

Front to Lateral Raise

Thrusters

Weighted Triceps Dips

Russian Twists

— rest 60 seconds–

WORKOUT 2

Seven Eight Nine

Workout 2 includes three mini workouts, each of which are 7 minutes in duration. Set a timer for 7 minutes and complete as many rounds as possible of the exercises listed. Rest for 60 seconds between each mini workout. Once again, be sure to challenge yourself by keeping up the intensity of your workout. You get 60 seconds to recover from each mini workout, so make sure it’s worth it!

AMRAP 7:

8 Thrusters
9 Man Makers

— rest 60 seconds–

AMRAP 7:

8 Overhead Walking Lunges
9 Front to Lateral Raise

WORKOUT 3

10 to 1

Workout 3 is a tough one for sure! Start by performing 10 repetitions of each exercise—starting with Overhead Walking Lunges then Man Makers, Front to Lateral Lunges, and so on. Then, perform 9 reps of each exercise (starting at the top with Overhead Walking Lunges) and then continue to reduce the reps by one: 8, 7, 6… all the way down to 1 rep of each exercise.
