I try to have my workouts in the early morning. I found that when I train during the morning, my energy level jumps up and I am more focused and relaxed. I’m able to work better and I’m less tired. It’s great.
Today, I did a home workout that lasted for less than 15 minutes. I only used my body weight and two dumbbells of 15 pounds each. That didn’t stop me from creating a workout that made me grunt like crazy. I was sweating profusely by the time I was wrapping up the exercises.
Here are the exercises I did:
Jumping Jacks - This exercise was my warm up. I wanted to get my heart rate up and to get my body ready for the exertion I had planned for it.
Forward lunge with bicep curl - This is a powerful exercise for the upper and lower body together. You hold a dumbbell in each hand (I used my 15 pounders). You take a step forward for the lunge and curl both dumbbells together. You return to the starting position and repeat. Don’t forget to train both legs.
Burpees - An ultimate favorite and one which is still causing me trouble. I find this exercise very hard to do. To perform the burpess you begin with a squat. Place both palms on the floor. Jump with both legs backwards until you’re in a push-up position. Do a push up. Jump with both legs back to the squat position. Stand up and jump high. Try to do 10 of those. I dare you.
Side step squat with dumbbell hold - Hold a dumbbell with both hands at the center of your body with both arms curled. Stand with both legs together. Take a step to the right with your right leg and go into a squat. Go back to the starting position. Repeat with the left leg. Do as many as you can.
Horizontal dumbbell swings – This works the shoulders but it’s much less intensive than the previous exercises. Take a dumbbell in each hand. Stand with your feet slightly apart. Swing both dumbbells to the side. Make sure to focus on how your shoulders feel and play into the exercise.
That’s it. It takes a few minutes and it can be really intensive. I learned some of these exercises and combos from Dr. Kareem Samhouri, a fitness expert I admire. Dr. K has allowed me to offer you a free report in which he shares a unique fat loss formula.
