ALL LEVELS / strength workout / 10 minutes
Equipment: Dumbbells & barbell
Beyond sculpting muscles, strength workouts are the cornerstone of a resilient physique. Besides, they boost your metabolism, fortify your joints, and help you minimize the risk of injuries. Weightlifting sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes; today, we bring one session shorter than that but equally effective.
This 10-minute strength workout is a quick and simple session. It has only 2 exercises, and you must perform both for 1 minute, during 5 rounds. Since is such a short workout, you get no time to rest — the goal is to raise your metabolism and create a challenging training session.
- Curl to shoulder press
