Full Body Home Dumbbell Workout To Get Strong And Firm
Strengthening And Firming Dumbbell Workout At home
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, we’re taking you through a full body home dumbbell workout to get strong and firm.
This is 1 of the 24 dumbbell workouts from our brand new Afterburn-DB home dumbbell workout program.
Strengthening And Firming Full Body Home Dumbbell Workout
Here’s how this full body home dumbbell workout is structured.
Total time:
45 minutes.
Type of workout:
This full body dumbbell workout is comprised of strength circuits.
This training style allows us to lift heavier weight for less reps to maintain strength.
Not only are you going to be burning fat while maintaining and building muscle, you’re also going to be maintaining and building strength with these strength circuits.
Number of Circuits:
The workout is comprised of 2 dumbbell circuits comprised of 4 compound exercises that all follow different movement patterns and target different muscle groups.
You’re going to complete 3 circuits of each exercise.
If you’re a beginner, complete 2 sets per circuit.
After completing 3 sets of each circuit, you’ll then complete the workout with a sweaty 4 minute afterburner finisher.
Rest:
You’ll take a quick 40 second rest between exercises within the circuit, and complete it for a total of 3 sets.
If you’re a beginner, take a 60 second rest between exercises.
After completing the 4 exercises in the circuit, you’ll rest for 1 minute before starting your second set and third set.
Tempo:
Make sure you follow the given tempos for each exercise.
This will increase the time under tension, while also increasing power and strength.
Afterburn Igniter:
After finishing your third and final set of strength circuit A, immediately proceed to complete the Afterburn Igniter exercise.
Whenever you see “Afterburn Igniter”, complete the bodyweight exercise for the prescribed time or rep count.
These Afterburn Igniter exercises are intended to:
- increase your heart rate
- improve conditioning
- create rapid fat loss to burn more fat
- increase your metabolism to really ignite the afterburn in your body
After finishing the Afterburn Igniter reps, move on to the next circuit of exercises.
Exercises:
Every afterburn exercise has been strategically selected to ensure all the major muscles in the body are activated.
Every afterburn exercise has been strategically selected to ensure you target the biggest muscles in the body.
This will increase overall calorie burning during the workout, as well as after the workout (i.e. EPOC), while you’re at home recovering.
You shouldn’t have anything left in the tank to rep out the last rep, so choose the weight accordingly.
Before you start the workout, complete the warm up as found in the Afterburn-DB program.
Let’s get started.

I call them “workout finishers”, in other words, the final fat burning and metabolism boasting kick to ignite the afterburn effect.
