Perform all 9 exercises as a Total body strength-training workout in about 45 minutes. Follow them in the sequence Ive laid out in this video. Aim to perform between 12 – 15 repetitions per exercise. If you can do more than 15 reps, then the weights are too light and you need to increase them\r
\r
If you are an absolute beginner, then complete 2 sets for each exercise before moving on to the next exercise. As you progress, aim to complete between 3 – 4 sets.\r
\r
If youre looking to buy dumbbells, as a beginner, Id recommend buying 2 pairs of dumbbells. One heavier pair, between 5 – 6kgs each and another lighter pair, between 3 – 4kgs each. Its always better to buy a heavier pair because then you can train and progress into lifting heavier. You dont have to spend your money on buying really light dumbbells, because you can easily make them at home using water bottles.\r
\r
All the best! xx
