Ditch the push-ups — this dumbbell workout will help you carve out a stronger upper body and core in just 30 minutes

Sometimes, all it takes is 30 minutes to feel stronger, clear your head after a stressful day, or get back into the swing of exercise after a break, which is basically the same time it takes to watch an episode of Friends. A short, focused session can make a real difference, helping you reconnect with your body and leaving you feeling more energized.

Trainer Heather Robertson’s upper-body dumbbell workout is a perfect example. It targets the arms, shoulders, chest and back with simple, controlled movements that suit a wide range of abilities, whether you are training at home or in the gym. The session is easy to follow, but still leaves you feeling like you have worked hard.
