Two dumbbells and these eight exercises are all you need for a full-body workout

We covered hundreds of full-body workouts on T3 at this point, and there is no sign of us slowing down since we love them. They are time and energy efficient and can often be performed anywhere, as long as you have some home weights at hand. Some of them don't even use any equipment! The below routine uses only two dumbbells and eight exercises but works every single muscle in your body.

To achieve this, you'll be doing a combination of compound and isolating exercises. There are some isometric moves sprinkled in there for good measure. Compound movements use multiple muscle groups, which is great for burning calories and building muscle simultaneously. Isolating exercises focus on one muscle (e.g. biceps curl), while isometric exercises require you to flex the muscle continuously (e.g. planks).
