A fitness enthusiast shares their experience trying a short 8-move full-body dumbbell workout designed by personal trainer Chris Heria, which includes a brief warm-up and three rounds of exercises. They found the routine challenging but effective, emphasizing the importance of proper form and the cardiovascular benefits of high-intensity resistance training. The workout is suitable for beginners and experienced lifters, with options to adjust intensity.
Personal trainer Tanya Poppett shares a five-move bodyweight workout that takes just 20 minutes and works your whole body without any equipment. The workout includes variations of classic moves like squats, lunges, and push-ups, and implements short rest times to keep your heart rate high for a muscle-building, fat-burning workout you can do from anywhere. This is a training technique known as high-intensity resistance training (HIRT).
A personal trainer did 100 weighted squats every day for two weeks and found that it was an effective way to work the glutes, engage the core, and get a good cardio workout. However, maintaining proper form was crucial to avoid injury, and the challenge led to tight hamstrings and delayed-onset muscle soreness. The workout took about 10 minutes and is recommended for those looking to shake up their lower body routine.
