Strength Training Moves For A Full-Body Makeover
Ready for a total-body workout? Here are nine strength-training moves you can use in one workout to get started.
The Workout
The following exercises can be performed right in your own home with a simple set of dumbbells, making this workout convenient for anyone. To structure this workout, you will be pairing together a lower body move with an upper body exercise, and then adding a core exercise to finish each 'tri-set' off.
These three exercises should be performed back to back, taking no rest time between each one and after all three are finished, then you can rest for one minute before carrying on. Aim to perform 10 to 15 repetitions per exercise. Once the entire circuit is completed, repeat one more time through.
Aim to perform this workout three days per week, taking one day off for rest and recovery between sessions.
Here are the exercises.
