If you have dumbbells at home collecting dust, this full-body routine could be the workout for you!

Before you get into it, however, you might want to check out our previous full-body workouts to ensure you have a base level of conditioning.

This workout is a progression of the banded workout, focusing on a range of upper body, lower body and core-based strengthening exercises.

 

What dumbbells should you use?

A range of weights is preferable to suit the various exercises (e.g. you may only feel comfortable with lighter weights for some exercises but heavier weights for others). You can still use a single set of dumbbells, ensuring you only use the weights if you can comfortably complete the respective sets (with no pain).
