Kelsey Wells's 20-Minute Shoulders and Back Dumbbell Workout
Equipment needed: a yoga mat and two light- to medium-weight dumbbells. Here's a guide on how to choose the right weight.
Directions: Before getting started, Wells said to take a few minutes to warm up your body. She recommends doing three to five minutes of cardio such as jogging in place or skipping to increase your heart rate and get your muscles warm. If possible, Wells also recommends following the cardio with dynamic stretches such as leg swings, arm circles, and torso twists to help increase your range of motion and reduce injury.
This workout should be completed as a circuit, meaning you'll complete one round of the following exercises, taking little to no rest in between each exercise. Once you finish one round, take one minute of rest and then repeat for a total of three rounds. If you need water, feel free to take a few sips in between each exercise or during your rest. If you need to rest longer than one minute, feel free to do so.
Once you've finished the workout, cool down with three to five minutes of walking to lower your heart rate back to the resting rate. Wells also recommends completing a few static stretches to lengthen your muscles and increase your flexibility and range of motion.
