Stuck at home with limited equipment?
In this video, I’m sharing a full body dumbbell workout that I’ve designed specifically for intermediates over 35.
Hi, it’s Ivana and I work primarily with people over 35 to help them get fit healthy and strong.
Equipment Needed For This Dumbbell Workout
I wanted to keep this workout very simple, so you’ll only need one or two sets of dumbbells. You can also do this with bodyweight.
I’m going to be using my tens here and my twenties for the lower body exercises. If you’ve only got one set of dumbbells, then just increase the rep range for each of the exercises. If you’ve got a dumbbell that’s a little bit too heavy, then you can reduce the rep range and you can still do the same exercises. So you can do this dumbbell workout with minimal equipment.
Squat Presses
2 sets of 10-12 reps
Renegade Rows
2 sets of 14-16 reps
Alternating Back Lunges
2 sets of 16-18 reps (8-9 each leg)
Kneeling Shoulder Presses
2 sets of 6-8
OR
If your knees hurt in the kneeling position, then use this exercise:
Seated Shoulder Presses
2 sets of 6-8 reps
(Use the same rep range as the kneeling shoulder press)
Wide Goblet Squats
2 sets of 15-20 reps
Floor Chest Press

2 sets of 8-10 reps
Overhead Farmer’s Carry
1 Sets of 30-45 secs with the left arm, and then 1 set with the right arm.
General Tips For This Dumbbell Workout
Always do a weight that is challenging for you, but also allows you to maintain excellent technique. Use the full range of motion and take your time to get into each position. As you get stronger, increase the weight of the dumbbell that you’re using.
