Trying to maintain a strict fitness schedule is hard during the festive season, even for the most disciplined fitness enthusiasts. Instead of trying to stick to your usual routine, shorten your sessions instead and substitute it for this dumbbell workout. Not only will it take you around 10 minutes to complete (so you aren’t away from the festivities for too long), but its three moves will help maintain your muscle gains and burn calories in case you feel you’ve overindulged.
This workout, created by Farren Morgan, Founder of The Tactical Athlete and serving PTI in the Coldstream Guards, is a high-intensity resistant training circuit. Farren says: “HIIT training, when paired with dumbbells, becomes a dynamic and efficient way to build muscle and burn calories at the same time, and this HIIT dumbbell workout is not only time-effective but can deliver impressive results.” HIIT also improves your aerobic capacity, boosts heart health, burns fat, and, due to its short duration, is ideal for when you're pushed on time.
