2 Day Beginner Full Body Workout

Welcome to your first life changing dumbbell workout routine! This routine is specifically designed for the complete novice exerciser that is ready to make a change. This is a 2 day full body dumbbell workout that will get you started on the life long path of fitness. Make sure you track your progress! I keep a log myself on Google docs but there are many ways you can track your progress, just write down the weight you lifted and how many reps/sets. If you haven’t read my beginner’s workout guide, then I strongly suggest you do so now! The guide has a ton of great information for people who are just starting out or for experienced exercisers that are looking for tips to improve their dumbbell workouts. Once this routine stops kicking your butt, then it’s time to move on to one of our more advanced dumbbell workouts! If you have a question on how to perform a certain dumbbell exercise simply click on the exercise and it will take you to guide and video on how to perform that exercise. Simple as that so what are you waiting for?!
