We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to sculpt strong muscles. In fact, you can work your shoulders and your core using just a set of dumbbells and five different exercises with this simple workout you can do from home. Read on to find out more. 

The workout, created by trainer Becky Greenan, uses five different exercises in a circuit that you repeat two to three times. It targets the shoulder muscles as well as the abs for an upper-body burn. It’s also a good one to add to your workout routine if you’re short on time, equipment, or space. All you’ll need is a set of weights — if you’re still working out from home, we’ve hand-picked the best adjustable dumbbells for your workouts here.
