Try Our 10-Minute Beach Body Workout
The most important body parts to work on to get beach-ready are your glutes and abs. The rest of the exercises will be fat-blasting and focused to help trim and tone. Dumbbells will help burn more fat while simultaneously building muscle to leave you with a toned look in the right places. Additionally, you’ll be building tighter, more ripped abs and a bigger butt.
For this workout, you’ll need light (5 to 10 pounds) to medium (10 to 15 pounds) dumbbells and an interval timer, which is available on most phones.
Perform each exercise for 45 seconds. Complete two rounds, resting for one minute in between the rounds. Perform this workout four to five times a week to start sculpting the perfect beach body.
- Burpees: One of the best fat-blasting full-body exercises.
- Dumbbell Swing: This exercise hits your glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. Use a medium dumbbell.
