Workout Instructions
- Superset: This program is based on the superset scheme. Superset involves performing two exercises in a row with no rest between them. It is an excellent way to train more muscles in less time compared to other rep-set schemes.
- Warm-up before lifting: It’s always best to perform a few cardio exercises, such as burpees, jumping jacks, high knees, and squat jumps to prepare your muscles for lifting dumbbells. Moreover, you can also do one warm-up set prior to working sets to increase muscle temperature.
- Rest between supersets: 90 seconds to 2 minutes.
