300 Dumbbell Workout

The 300 Dumbbell Workout is a full body workout using only dumbbells as your resistance. There are a couple of cardio-bursts thrown in to keep your heart rate up throughout the workout and each exercise alternates between a double-limb movement and an alternating-limb movement.

Remember to first do a dynamic type of warm-up movement for 2-3 minutes like jumping jacks. No weight is listed because, as a general program, you must determine your own weight to be used based on your current level of ability, i.e. not what you think you should be using; but what you should realistically be using!

Some common sense rules:

  1. Experiment to find your proper dumbbell weight.
  2. Always use a light weight (lighter that what you think you'd normally use) in your first workout using this program for reasons of safety and caution.
  3. Complete all 30 reps in a given exercise before you move to the next one.

Complete 30 repetitions for each exercise for a 300 rep total:

  1. Alternating DB bench press
  2. Dumbbell Squats
  3. Alternating Standing DB row
  4. Mountain climbers (cardio-burst)
  5. DB shoulder press
  6. Alternating DB lunge
  7. Lying DB Triceps extension
  8. Alternating DB Biceps curls
  9. DB squat and rotational swings
  10. High knee drill (cardio-burst)
