We've created a fun 5 Day Workout Challenge for intermediate-advanced exercisers to jumpstart you towards all of your fitness and health goals. All you need for this 5 Day Challenge is a set of dumbbells . If you push yourself over the course of this short program and make sure that you're eating healthily, you might notice small changes in the way your body looks and feels by the end of these 5 days. Day One: 40 Minute At Home Butt and Thigh Workout - Lower Body Workout with Kelli and Daniel - Lift your butt, shape your thighs, and burn off a great deal of calories with some of the most effective lower body exercises possible. This workout is great with weights but is still highly effective with no equipment at all. Estimated Calorie Burn: 216-408 Day Two: 37 Minute Upper Body Superset Workout with Fat Burning Cardio Intervals - Arm, Chest, Back & Shoulder Workout - Your legs should be pretty sore from yesterday's workout. If they aren't, that's a sign ...

What is the best time of day to workout? The short answer is that it comes down to what works best for each individual when considering energy levels, motivation, and schedules. Some people feel stronger and more energetic in the morning while others find that later in the day feels best for them. Trying to decide on the best time to workout can be a bit of a challenge, especially when just starting into a workout regimen and you don’t know how your body reacts to exercise at different times of the day.  Morning Workouts Pros  Scheduling: First thing in the morning is typically an easier time to get in a workout as you can always wake up before everything in your day is up and running at full speed, making distraction-free exercise more likely & procrastination-proof. Mood boost: The mood boosting hormones that exercise releases can start your day off with increased optimism and higher self efficacy that can positively influence the rest of your day. Positive min...

If you're serious about home workouts and/or quitting your gym membership, dumbbells are the one piece of equipment that we recommend splurging on. As long as you have weights at home, you're set, and outside of the initial purchase price you're going to end up saving money by cutting out a monthly gym membership fee. We use & recommend Powerblock's Adjustable Dumbbells . We love them. Here's why. Quick, smooth transitions between strength sets: Because the dumbbells are nested, everything you need for your strength workout is in one place. The plates glide smoothly, and all you need is a flat, solid surface to set them on; the changing of weights takes less than just a few seconds. Space saving efficiency: Instead of having an enormous (and expensive) collection of different dumbbell weights that take up a great deal of room, an adjustable dumbbell offers everything you need in one set. Some Powerblock versions have upwards of 25 different increments ...
