15-Minute: FULL BODY Workout, Home Exercise Routine

Please follow and like us:

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to a great, full body workout! For this routine you will need two dumbbells. One round takes 15-Minutes. It’s quick, effective and will give you a great workout in a short period of time. This routine focuses on compound exercises to maximize the workout efficiency in the shortest amount of time. You will find the full length workout video, breakdown and photo tutorial below.

I got in one round, but if you’re up to it I recommend repeating the workout up to 3X.

I’ve been continuing to struggle with some fatigue and decreased stamina. So I am slowly re-building and carefully listening to my body as I get back into working out consistently. Doing one round of this workout was the perfect building block for me. My focus right now is on continuing to re-build my health, strength and endurance. That means starting out small, re-building the foundation and expanding from there.

Historically, I don’t get muscle soreness from working out. I get sore maybe 1-2X per year if I do something particularly intense or that involves a lot of deep stretching. Lately, I have to be very careful about overdoing it or intense muscle soreness makes it hard to do much for several days to a week. One round of this workout was perfect, because I got only mildly sore. That means I can continue to workout, recover and build muscle.

If you do experience muscle soreness, try some gentle walking and stretching to help move it out. Staying still can make the soreness worse. Also, be sure to support your muscle recovery with protein, nutrition and hydration.

As far as what’s been causing my fatigue, I had some testing done that showed low iron, which I’ve been focused on restoring through nutrition and a daily vitamin. My doctor isn’t fully convinced that’s the culprit of my energy depletion, so I had some additional blood testing done this week to rule out Lyme disease and a reactivation of Mono.

Remember, exercise should be focused on improving your health. Sometimes that means pushing yourself harder (because you know you can!). Other times, that means easing off a bit and respecting what your body needs right now. For me, that means slowly, but surely getting back into my exercise groove.

I hope you enjoy the workout! Let me know how many rounds you did, what your favorite exercise was and which move challenged you the most! Most importantly, have fun and focus on your health! Feel free to do some silly dances or wiggles in between each exercise to keep your body moving.

See you soon with a new workout!
