If you struggle to find time to work out regularly but can spare 30 minutes and own a pair of the best adjustable dumbbells, or any standard pair of dumbbells, then it's time you tried out this five move full-body strength building workout.
The workout comes from qualified run coach and PT James Stirling and combines five dumbbell exercises into a high-intensity resistance training format. Stirling's routine targets major muscle groups all over the body, will help to build and tone muscle, get the heart rate up and give your metabolism a healthy little boost.
You'll do each exercise for 40 seconds, take a 20-second rest, then start the next move. Aim for five sets with a minute to catch your breath between each set. If you're new to weight training, be sure to practice your form before you start, either with advice from a fitness professional, or you can perfect your form using Stirling's demonstrations.
