Keeping It Simple during Recovery

 

I'm still getting over some sickness, so I chose a simple workout that gets the job done.

I love 2-dumbbell workouts, because I like simple things.  

Two 15-pound weights, a mat and you're good to go.  This was the routine ...

30 seconds of work followed by 30 seconds of rest

5 minute warmup (don't skip getting the muscles warm and ready)

Dumbbell Squats

Pushups

Bulgarian Split Squat-Left

Bulgarian Split Squat-Right

Plank Rows

Jump Squats

Decline Pushups

Dumbbell Reverse Lunges

Dumbbell Fly

High-Knees

Repeat this circuit twice.

Cooldown/stretch for 5 minutes

Workout Length = 30 minutes

You can use any size weight that fits your level.  A pair of 12 or 10-pounders would be great also.  This routine will raise your heart rate while improving strength.
