When life is busy and you need a quick workout to challenge your whole body, try a complex. This workout format strings together a series of free-weight exercises for a combination of cardio and resistance training. No putting the equipment down, no rest between exercises, just fluid transitions from one move to the next.
A great example is this dumbbell complex from Los Angeles-based trainer Ben Bruno. “This is my go-to full-body complex for when I’m short on time, or when I’m feeling beat up and want to get a good workout with lighter loads,” writes Bruno in the Instagram caption to go with the video.
