20 Minute Full Body Dumbbell Workout: Third Trimester BenderFitness

Hi Everyone!

It’s workout time! I have a brand new workout for you today! I got to film with special guest, Nicole, today. I love being able to share my workouts with friends. Nicole has joined me for several workouts in the past, and it was fantastic to have her back!

This workout is pregnancy safe (I am now 36 weeks pregnant!), but still great for those of you who aren’t pregnant! Both Nicole and Jesse did this workout. They enjoyed the exercises and found them challenging. Jesse increased the intensity by using a barbell with heavier weights.

Nicole and I use dumbbells in this workout, so be sure to choose a weight that is challenging for you. I used 20-lb dumbbells for all of the exercises except the curl and press, which I decreased to 12-lbs. Work to your own level, but don’t be afraid to challenge yourself. Increased muscle = increased metabolism and greater calorie burn for everything you do.

I hope you enjoy today’s workout!
Melissa
