This 20-minute dumbbell workout provides a full-body strengthening routine without any high-impact jumping exercises.

Performing your entire workout while standing can significantly reduce the impact on your body. Activities like push-ups, planks, and jumping exercises like burpees can strain your joints due to the impact they generate. While these exercises are effective, you can still achieve a stronger body by staying on your feet.

This 20-minute workout involves each exercise being performed for 45 seconds, followed by a 15-second rest period during which Mikala provides instructions for the next move. It’s important not to rush through the exercises but rather focus on controlled movements to engage the target muscles effectively. Even with longer sets, you’ll still feel the muscle burn before your next break.

The routine consists of compound exercises like deadlifts and squats, as well as isolation exercises such as bicep curls. With rapid succession of exercises, every part of your body gets worked, ensuring comprehensive muscle engagement throughout the session.

Suitable for all fitness levels, this workout is particularly beneficial for beginners as it helps in mastering exercise forms like deadlifts using light weights. For those seeking a more challenging session, this full-body dumbbell workout is an excellent choice.

Apart from dumbbells, no other equipment is necessary for the workout. However, using one of the top-quality yoga mats is advisable to protect your floors from sweat and the dumbbells when placed between exercises. Additionally, a mat offers better grip during lateral movements like lunges. This standing workout effectively targets major muscle groups without the need to hit the floor, making it ideal for individuals concerned about protecting their wrists, especially.

Medium-weight dumbbells around 10lbs are recommended for the workout, although having multiple sets or adjustable dumbbells allows for better customization of weight according to exercise intensity.
