Why ConniĀ  likes this workout

  • This workout requires only dumbbells and come done about anywhere.
  • The moves work most over our major muscle groups (aka full body)
  • It helps build strength but also requires some balance and stabilization by ways incorporating the reverse lunge
  • It includes lateral movement, which is often missed in our daily lives.
