Join me (and Peanut!) for this full length 30-minute home workout that you can do in a small space, with minimal equipment. This non stop total body cardio and strength session uses two sets of dumbbells (one light set for smaller muscle groups like the arms, shoulders and upper back and one heavy set for the legs, back and chest) and keeps your heart rate elevated the entire time for a 2 for 1 workout. This cardio strength routine combines compound, multi-muscle moves with continuous lower body movement to maximize your workout time, build coordination and even sharpen your brain. This total body cardio and strength training session burns calories (both during and after the workout!) by targeting the muscles in the thighs, inner thighs, legs, quadriceps, hamstrings, core, arms, shoulders and abs with exercises like squats, lunges, overhead presses, biceps curls, triceps extensions, bent over rows and more.
Equipment: Dumbbells (I’m using a set of 5 lbs and 10 lbs, your weight should depend on your fitness level)
Intensity: Moderate
Floor Work: No

Love this workout! It is part of my weekly rotation of workouts!! Looking forward to another one using the step! Please!!!
Thanks Jessica 🥳 Happy New Year
I've been neglecting my strength training for months @_@ I love this channel and the variety of strength building workouts. Weights, no weights, barre, cardio, pilates–it's got range! Love it! This blast was fun and didn't leave me wondering when will it end or max me out too early! <3 Thank you!
One of my favorites!
Amazing workout
Thanks
Great workout! Challenging but doable. Thanks so much Jessica!!
great workout – ginny the 5 month old springer spaniel puppy enjoyed it as well
Jessica, you always have the perfect video.
Great workout! It was over before I knew it. I'm working through round 2 of January Jumpstart, trying to do the options I didn't choose the first time. It's like having a completely new workout regimen.
Thank you Jessica for another awesome workout! It's easy to lose sight of what is important and get caught up in comparing workouts or how one's body used to be. I really enjoy your workouts for the challenge and for getting me to MOVE! Such gratitude <3
By far one of my favorite workouts both strength and I was in cardio the whole time. Really felt good no that I got a good workout in! Thanks so much
Thanks so much for this, Jessica (and Peanut)!!
Thank you ! I'm sorry we didn't get to see much of the dog – love him !!!
Still doing this workout. I love it!
Spring Ahead Plan 2021! This is workout 2 on the plan and man was it a good one! Jessica this is where you shine. Mistress of the weightlifting cardio mash up!
I just started your Spring Ahead program. I honestly didn't think I could make it through a 30 minute workout, but I feel good afterwards. Thank you for your videos!
Absolutely loved this one. I’m just getting back into exercise, and I made it work for me with lighter weights- 3, 5, and 8 lbs. 🙌
Can you make more of these!!? Love it!
Amazing, loved every second
Thank you! I love the strength and cardio combo! So efficient 😃
Wow! My first time trying this…..love it! The weights are such a bonus. Love 🥜 too! Thank you very much😊
So good! I'm a huge relatively inflexible guy and there's a wonderfully deceptive quality to the compound and oppositional movements you seem to prefer (not to mention the balance aspects…). Not only do I build a harder sweat than I imagine when reviewing the workout prior to doing it, during post shower chores and reflection, I find my hips, back, shoulders, everything surprisingly open and responsive. Brava!!!
I used 3, 5, and 8 lb weights, but my 59 year old body feels great!
Awesome workout! I definitely feel worked in a good way.
Love all your videos! There are so many! The ones I've done, never disappointed!
Love it! Thank you Jessica.
💓💓💓💓
I always love Jessicas workouts!!
Thank you for these excellent, varied, and very professional workout videos you post. Presently as a housebound retiree, I enjoy keeping in shape exercising along with you and Peanut. Keep up this great online community service because we love it
Thank you so much, Jessica, for the You Tube workouts! They have been a life saver during this time when I am unable to attend an exercise class!! Forever grateful!
Always love your energy and work!
