Workout alert!
Up for this leg and shoulder challenge? All you need is one set of dumbbells and you can get to work!
You guys know I love sharing fun, efficient ways for you to get your workouts in, so here’s another solid workout!⠀⠀⠀
When I’m pressed for time (or just want to switch things up) I love to combine legs and shoulders! At the gym or home workouts, combining these two muscle groups has also been a way for me to continue to train around injuries (so no PR on the squat rack for me these days, but all good- I’m still workin’ on my fitness!) as each combo is quite challenging without having to use a “heavy” amount of weight.
*BONUS* this workout ONLY requires dumbbells- no machines, making it easier for you to do this *almost* anywhere!
For those of you working out at home, all you’ll need is one set of dumbbells (max you’ll need is 2 sets of varying weight as you may need a bit of variation for a couple of the exercises listed) and for those of you rocking this workout at the gym, you won’t need to run around and fight people for time on machines or run from one end of the gym to the next just to get the workout done. I’ve kept the format simple so you can get in, get the workout done and be off to handle the rest of your day!
