Creative Dumbbell Moves That Build Muscle Head to Toe

We could go on and on about the benefits of strength training—but it’s probably best just to let you try it for yourself. Thanks to this workout from Alex Silver-Fagan, trainer and Women’s Health‘s Next Fitness Star finalist, you can.

When it comes to creating workouts, her motto is simple: “Just get moving,” Silver-Fagan says. The trainer, who got her start in bikini competitions and then realized she wanted to do more to promote a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle, now teaches rowing and CrossFit and practices yoga #everydamnday.

Here she provides a creative workout that combines strength, yoga, and a unique twist on the classic move everyone loves to hate: the burpee.

How to use this list:

You’ll need a pair of 10- to 20-pound dumbbells to complete this workout. Do each move below in order for the indicated number of reps. Do the entire circuit 1 to 2 times for a quick pick-me-up—or 3 to 4 times for a full workout. Do this 3 to 4 times per week.
