I had a lot to do and little time to do it, but I did not want to skip my workout today. Instead, I performed the 2-move full-body workout below:
Dumbbell Squat to Press and Dumbbell Burpee are effective full-body exercises that target multiple muscle groups:
1. Dumbbell Squat to Press πͺ?οΈββοΈ
This exercise combines a squat with an overhead press, working multiple muscle groups:
? Start with feet shoulder-width apart, holding dumbbells at shoulder height
?οΈββοΈ Squat down, keeping your back straight and chest up
π As you stand, press the dumbbells overhead
π Lower dumbbells back to shoulders as you squat again
It targets:
? Legs (quads, hamstrings, glutes)
πͺ Shoulders and arms
? Core for stability
2. Dumbbell Burpee (Modified for Low Impact) πββοΈ?οΈββοΈ
This full-body exercise combines strength and cardio:
?ββοΈ Start standing with dumbbells by your sides
πββοΈ Lower dumbbells to the floor, bending your knees
? Step back into a plank position (instead of jumping for low impact)
πͺ Perform a push-up
πΆββοΈ Step forward to return to standing
?οΈββοΈ Lift dumbbells to shoulder height and press overhead
It works:
? Legs
πͺ Arms and shoulders
? Core
β€ Cardiovascular system
Both exercises provide an efficient full-body workout, improving strength and endurance.
