This workout efficiently targets your arms, shoulders, chest, back, and core in a series of 10 exercises using stairs and dumbbells. You’ll start with two tricep exercises on the stairs and then move into the rest of the exercises, which are generally paired in sets of opposing muscle groups. For example, biceps are paired with triceps, chest flies with rows, abs with back extension, etc. This helps build symmetry in strength and lets you move through your workout quickly without a lot of rest times.

This pairing of exercises does mean a lot of up and down off the ground, so please make sure that you don’t move up off the floor too fast. Take it slow and do some squats or glut squeezes as needed as you come up to standing.

Stay fit!

p.s. A critical viewer (not you) might note that my arms start to shake in that halfway down position on the stairs. It means I’m working and trying to get stronger… and also that it’s my second take because I messed the first one up. 🙂 Thanks for not being critical, and also for focusing on what’s important – a stronger YOU that can A. perhaps go lower and hold longer than me, but way more importantly, B. go lower and hold longer than YOU’VE done in the past.
