✨THE WORKOUT: 40-Minute Strength + HIIT Home Workout with Dumbbells✨

► EQUIPMENT: Medium set of dumbbells. We are using 12 and 15 lbs in this video.

My oversized yoga mat is from Gorilla Mats (affiliate link): http://gorillamats.com?aff=5​​
*Discount Code: NourishMoveLove

► INSTRUCTIONS:
This is a TIME DROP workout (one of my favorite formats!). That means that work time decreases with each additional set, so it looks like this:

SET 1: 45 seconds work, 15 seconds of rest
SET 2: 40 seconds work, 20 seconds rest
SET 3: 30 seconds work, 30 seconds rest ​

Repeat all 9 exercises x3 sets.

⭐️FAQ’s + TRAINER TIPS:

►How often should I do this workout?
It all depends on your current fitness routine and goals. I suggest 2-3 strength training workouts per week and 2 HIIT workouts per week.
Try adding this workout to your workout routine once a week (as a HIIT workout).
A well-rounded fitness plan will include a variety of workouts. Download one of my FREE Home Workout Plans (all with full Youtube videos!): https://www.nourishmovelove.com/category/workouts/move-blog/workout-calendars/

►🤰Is this workout Pregnancy-Friendly? Yes! Rachel’s offering low impact modifications, and you can slow down movements as needed! I also suggest adding an incline (placing your hands on a bench or chair) for push ups and burpees. And you can always replace lying triceps and overhead pulls with standing bent over tricep kicks and back rows if lying on your back isn’t available to you.
As always, you know your body best, and I always recommend chatting with your doc or midwife about questions specific to your pregnancy!
