32 Minute Dumbbell Circuit Power Burn Workout - ACTIVATE DAY 13

Hey, everybody. I'm Amy from Bodyfit by Amy. And this is your dumbbell circuit power burn workout. So in this workout, we'll be using your dumbbells to get strength, to add some power and to get your heart pumping. For cardio, we'll take it back to basics and then each round will add a little bit more intensity and power. Of course, I'm going to give you lots of options to work to your level and be where you are today. Are you ready? Let's do it. Let's get started with a quick warm up. Go ahead and start marching, moving your body. Shake everything out. You can do some rolls through the wrist, through the elbows, and then through those shoulders. We're going to keep this warm up pretty short so we can get right into that workout. So of course, if you need more of a warm up, if you need a little more mobility work or activation or getting your body up to the right temperature, please, please get it on your own. We are going to get that blood flowing, get that heart pumping and make sure that we get those muscles ready to go. But sometimes we need a little bit more right through here, side to side. Let's hold it here. Just reach and reach. Reach. Opening up those hips right through here. Big stretch. Open the shoulder if you can, through the spine, through right through here. We're gonna go with an eye straight up with the shoulders. Why thumbs are up and T. You can do a little hinge right here. I, Y and T if you want to come up with it. I little hinge with it and T if that feels okay. Warming up through your back so it's shoulder mobility and we get that stretch through our back. Let's get one more Y and T. Let's keep with that hinge. We're gonna hinge it down, hands down. We're gonna squat up and up. Slight bend on the knees. With both hinge, squat up and up. You don't have to go all the way to the ground. You can keep your hands right here and up. Hinge squat. Let's get two more extending through the back of the legs. Hold it right here. Hands on the legs or hands on the ground if it is good for you. You're going to step one leg back, reach one arm up, back to center right here. One leg back, one arm up. If you need to keep that up top, you can be here. Stretch over to the side instead of that twist, step back if you can. Let's take it one leg back and then the other in that plank. Hold it here you can also drop to the knees or stay up with hands on the legs. We're gonna press it up, down, dog, back to center right here. Press it up, down, dog, back to center. One more. And then whatever you need to do. Walk those hands back, walk those feet up. Round it up. Tap it across right here. So here's what we got, team. We are getting warm. We're getting ready to go. We've got our power, so circuit power burn, right? So what that means we're working in a circuit with our dumbbells. So we have three exercises, three rounds, and we have three circuits of that. So that was three exercises in your circuit, and then you have three rounds. We are going down in time and down and rest. Your first round is 40 seconds, then you get 30 seconds, then you get 20. We're gonna decrease the rest as we go. 40 seconds of work. 20 seconds of rest. 30, 15, 20, and 10. So it is gonna move quickly, but your first round is back to basics, and you can always stay right there. So you can keep it back to basics all three rounds if you want. Or you can take it with a little burn on that round two and a little power on round three. I'm gonna talk you through it as we go. Watch me here. Grab one or two dumbbells. We're gonna start with just a back to basic squat. I'm gonna hold one heavy right here. We're gonna sit low in that goblet s. You got 40 seconds. Join me right here. Here we go. Drop it down. Press up through the heels. So several options on this. You can have one dumbbell in the center like I'm doing goblet squat. You can have two that are racked or down by the side or in the front. You can also just keep it body weight. A lot of our power rounds, we're going to keep it body weight. That's our shortest round. And we may add a little bit plyometrics, some power, so we may keep that body weight. You got 10 seconds right here. Regular squat. Back to basics, slow and controlled. Core is engaged. 3, 2, 1. And relax. All right, now we got a shoulder press, so grab that other dumbbell. We're going to take it right here. You're going to go hammer press, straight up and down. We're gonna mix this up as we go in our round two. So let's go straight up and down. If you need to take it to one dumbbell, you can take it right here. Here we go. Join me. 40 seconds. One dumbbell here in the center, core, engage. It's that push motion straight up. I've got one foot staggered so I'm not arching my back. And again, you can take it to two dumbbells. One or two straight up and down. Right here. Yes. Breathe. Elbows in. And you don't have to drop them lower than here. You can keep them right about here. Feel how your core kicks in as you get to this point. Straight up. Chest, shoulders, arms. You got three, two, one, and relax. All right, join me down on the mat. If you want to keep this standing, you can just do a knee cross standing. Otherwise, we're taking it to a plank. I want you actually to start on your elbows. You're going to bring the knee in as you pike up with the hips. You can take it from the knees, too, if you need to. Join me right here. Knee comes in as your hips pike. So we're going to start on the elbows because we're going to move our way up to our hands. But for here, back to basics, slow and controlled. Drive the knee to the chest, Drop it back, knee to the chest as the hips lift. So you got to do a little pike. Pull everything in and up. Tilt that pelvis and drive the knee to the chest as you pike. You got just about 10 seconds strong in that core. And then we're going to our burn round. We're gonna get through this workout quickly. The nice thing about the sets is that they go down in time so they go quicker. 3, 2, 1. Bring it back up. All right, team, water if you need it. We're going back up to the top. So now with our squat, we're gonna do a little step out. So we're gonna make it burn. We're here, we're out. In, out. And you can keep it down the whole time, or you can go out right, out left. Bring it up. Join me. It's 30. Here we go. Down. Step out. In, out. You can come up in between, or you just keep it down the whole time. It's only 30 seconds, so it's gonna go by quicker. Right? But I do want you to drop the hips. Try not to be here. If you can be here, wait in the heels so we get those glutes again. Come up if you need to. If you feel like you're losing your form, stay down if you can. Burn. 3, 2, 1. And relax. Grab that other dumbbell. So now we only got 15 seconds of rest, but that's okay. We're gonna burn those shoulders. If you need to keep one dumbbell, do exactly what we just did. Otherwise, take them out. We're gonna press up. We're gonna bring the elbows in. Press and in. Here we go. 3, 2, 1, press. Bring them in. Sometimes we call this the Arnold press, or press to fly. Right? Because we got that fly motion as if we were pulling in for those chest and shoulder muscles. Keep the core engaged. Again, if that's too much, you take one dumbbell right in the center. Here we go. Right here. So press. Five seconds. Elbows in. Oh, there's that burn. Three, two, one. And relax. All right, I told you. Each round goes a little quicker because it's only 30 seconds. Here's what we got, team. We're gonna take it down this time. We're taking it down. We got a plank knee hold. So we're gonna hold in, take it across. In, take it back. Join me down here. Knee comes in, goes across to the opposite elbow. In and back. Here we go. 30 seconds. And back. Knee in, across, in. If you really want to get fancy with it, you can turn your hips as you cross. You'll get a little extra obliques. You need to take the standing knee cross and down knee. A little bit of balance. You can do it. Five seconds to go. Knee, cross, and up. Last one. And relax. All right, team, this is it, our last round. This is our power round. Let me tell you what we got, because we only got 20 seconds. Grab a quick sip of water if you need it. Power squat. You can do regular back to basics or little squat jump or power up. However you generate. Power is the right power squat for you. So you can go, come up on the toes, you can keep it back to basics, you can add the jump. Then we're going push press. We're gonna push it up. I'll talk you through that. And then we're taking it to a mountain climber. 20 seconds. 10 seconds of rest. It's gonna go by fast. You do what's best for you. Be where you are today. Let's rock out this little power round. 20 seconds, power squat. Three, two, one. Right here. Up. I like to touch down in between. You can also use those arms for power up. Land soft, land low. It's not just a jump, right? We're still getting down there. Power drop, power up to you. If that's too fast for you, you generate power. A little slower, that's okay. Three, two, one. And breathe. Grab one or two dumbbells. Bend your knees. Watch me. With this push press, you get a little power. And down. That's not right for you. You just Keep it regular. Press in 3, 2, 1. Here we go. And down. So a little bit of those hips kicking in, you're not rounding in your back powering up, but it's a little powerful. You can even move your feet with it, but make sure you're staying safe. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Yes. Team, join me down on the mat. We got that mountain climber for 20. If you're doing it standing, you generate power here. You tap it in or bird dog, but we got last 20 in 3, 2, 1. Here we go. Power. Remember, it's not so much about how fast we go. I would much rather you drive your knee to the chest. You can twist it too, if you want that twist, but keeping it controlled, you're not back here. You're really driving those knees in for 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Stretch it back. Yes. Team, that power round is going to feel a lot like a cardio round as well. So I want you to get a real rest. You can keep it tapping, but real rest for about 30, 40 seconds before we go to that next round. We're gonna get through this workout fast. All right, team, catch your breath. Tap it out as your heart rate comes down. We're taking to a lunge, so we got two dumbbells or one or no dumbbells. We got our regular stationary lunge. 20 seconds, right. 20 seconds left. We're starting with that. Then we take it to a row. Then a dead bug. Go ahead, bend your knees. Grab those weights if you're using them. Get set up. Train tracks about hip distance apart. You're dropping it low in the lunge. If you need to tap back to modify, that's an option. Or take it to a squat. Here we go. Drop it down. It's only 20 seconds for this first round. 20 seconds, right. 20 seconds left. So I wanted it to be steady, stationary, split, squat or lunge. So that's why we're splitting 20 and 20. We'll go right into that next leg in 3, 2, 1. Switch it up right here. Get in position. Here we go. Drive it up. Remember, you can hinge forward a bit, but we don't want to round in the back. Right? But you can come forward into that front leg. That actually helps us increase that activation. Right? Breathe. Three, two, one. Good and relaxed. Now we're going to take it to a bent over row. So a few options. Bend your knees here. Elbows up. Drop them down. You can also stagger if that's better for you. But zip up that core. Pack those shoulders. So roll them Back. Then hinge it. Here we go. Up and down. So think about bringing the weights towards your hips and leading with the elbows, not the wrists. Right. We're not here. If you can do that, your weights might be a little too light. Mine, I think, are two way. This round. Squeeze in your back, elbows up to the sky, and also elbows towards each other. If you need a little breather in between for your back, just bring it up. We're about halfway there. And up. Squeeze in the shoulder blades. Elbows in. Drop them down. Flat back. Really be aware it might feel like you're arching, but your back is straight. You got five, four, core. Three, two, one. Nice, team. All right, down on your back. Carefully. Take your time getting here. We're going to a dead bug. This is generally safe for everybody, but if you need to take it to a bridge, you can. Or if you need to take it to standing, just go with those knee raises. Lower. Right here. Hands here. You're either tapping or you're extending. Breathe. 3, 2, 1. 40 seconds out. Take it out. Bring it in. I really want you to check in with your alignment. Right? Where is that spine? Do you feel a big arch in your back? Tilt the hips forward. Really think about bringing your hips towards your rib cage and your hips and ribs towards the navel in the center. I love the dead bug because you are not flexing or extending through your spine, but you feel your entire core unit working. Right? If you're doing this correctly, really concentrate for three, two, close the core. Relax. All right, team, back up. On to your feet. We're going to do it all again. The difference now is we got 30 seconds on the right, 30 seconds on the left for our lunge. So we're gonna grab those dumbbells. We're gonna take it regular lunge to side lunge. So we're back here. Your same leg is going to travel, so I want you to stay low because we want to get that burn. But we're side to side, right? So lunge, lunge. We got 30 seconds, right? 30 seconds left. Starting in three, two. Right leg forward, left leg, tribal down. Bring it up. And here. So you're dropping that back knee, then you're taking it to that other side. If it starts to feel like too much, just pick one. You can still get the burn with just the side lunge or just the reverse lunge, right? Take it here. Push through the right heel, push out of the left hip. Inhale. Last one. Yes. Get set up. Same thing. Other side. Left foot forward. 30 seconds. 3, 2, 1. Take it down, push up and through. And here. What I mean by staying low is you're never coming all the way up. I want you to push out, stay low, A little bit of balance right here. So lunge and side shift the weight. It's a hinge into that side lunge. Right, Five seconds. Nice. Team, you got three, two, one, and relax. All right, team, take it down into a row. So you can be on all fours or you can be in that high plank position. Whatever is good for you. We're gonna pulse for 15 seconds one side, 15 seconds on the other. Take it standing, take it knees, take it plank. Here we go. 15. So you're holding strong in that core. I know it's challenging, so if you need to be here, take it here if you can. Lift it up. Pull that shoulder blade in. 3, 2, 1. Switch your sides. Try to keep those hips square to the mat. I know that's hard. Try to keep that elbow and shoulder right above the wrist. And we have a tendency to want to go here, but we're gonna keep it forward. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Relax. Down onto your back. Team, I know we're moving quickly, but that's the way this workout is designed. We're gonna get through it quick. You're gonna love it. All right, so now take that opposite hand on that opposite leg. You're gonna push your leg towards your hand. Push your hand towards your leg. They're pushing against each other, each other. And take that opposite side dead bug. We got 15 seconds here, then we switch. 15 seconds here. Zip up that core. Tilt that pelvis. Pull everything in. Push on one side, opposite arm and leg. Here we go. Feel the difference. So you should feel that contraction. As you're pushing, hand is pushing against the leg, leg is pushing into the hand, and then as that opposite, opposite arm and leg come in, close that core. Last one. Switch your sides right here. Fifteen. Take it here. Close it up. Yes, team, again, you can always take it to a bridge if you need to. Yes. Let's get it done. 3, 2, 1. Hug the knees in. All right, team, this is it, your power round. Let me go ahead and start. Show you, since we're here, when we get to that dead bug, we're gonna take it to a sprinter's crunch right here. Power up. Still deep core. Get some power coming up, but not using your back, just so you're already aware for that, with our lunges, let's keep our weights out of the way. We're gonna do power lunge, whatever that is. For you, that can just be driving the knee or little hop step right here. You know what? You love it. We got 20, 20 each side with our rows. Watch me. One side. 15 row snatch. Sorry? 20, 20 row and snatch. If that's not right for you, Row, high, pull or just the row. Are we good? Let's get it done. 20 seconds, right? Power lunge, whatever that is for you. In three, two, one. Drop it down. Power it up if you can. Add a little jump. I love it. If you need to, I love this too. Right, you're still getting power low to high. Yes, team. It'll burn. I know. We should call this the burn round. Breathe. Three, two, one. Shake it out. Get set up on that other side. My mic is going all over the place. Let's get it done. 3, 2, 1. Drive it up again. Your power can be here or get low, tapping in or with a jump. Whatever you got in you, you're doing it right. If you're moving, if you're moving safely and effectively, that's all we need. 3, 2, 1. Breathe. Catch your breath. One heavy dumbbell. All right, team, stagger it here. Watch me one time. Hinge, row, snatch or row high pull. The power comes on that pull. If that's not right for you, you just keep it a row. 3, 2, 1, hinge it. Row, snatch. Row, snatch or row high pull. Yes. Hand up.

You can also keep this here or step it in high pull. Yes, team. You got this? Yes. 3, 2, 1. Set those weights aside. Down on your back. If you need to take it standing or seated, or keep that dead bug totally fine otherwise. We got power coming up. Runners, crunch as if you're running towards the sky. Drop it down. Give yourself a second to catch your breath. Bring those hips together. Tilt the hips towards the rib. Tilt the pelvis. Driving it up, leg straight. Three, two, one. Power.
