Despite his bodybuilding heyday almost being half a century ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger is still an icon for fitness enthusiasts today. And if you wanted to get a body even remotely like his, you’d instantly think it’d require endless hours spent in a gym with lots of fancy-looking equipment. Well, wrong. In one of his recent newsletters, the retired bodybuilder shared a dumbbell-only workout that you can do from home, which takes no more than 15 minutes.
“All you need is one pair of dumbbells for a great workout,” Arnold says in his newsletter, and he’s not wrong. Dumbbells are a brilliant piece of equipment for a full-body workout — they can be used to build strength, muscle and lose fat. Plus, they don’t take up a lot of room, which makes them a convenient piece of equipment, although if you really lack space, we’d advise getting a pair of adjustable dumbbells.
