Balanced Burner (20 min)

20 minDumbbell
Start this EMOM →

A 20-minute EMOM cycling through 5 movements. Complete each exercise at the top of its minute and rest for whatever time remains. All you need is a dumbbell.

The Workout

  • Minute 1: 8 DB Deadlifts
  • Minute 2: 10 Push-ups
  • Minute 3: 12 Jump Squats
  • Minute 4: 10 DB Bent Over Rows
  • Minute 5: 20 Russian Twists

Tips

  • Complete all reps before the minute ends - that gap is your rest.
  • If you have less than 10 seconds per minute, reduce reps by 2–3 and rebuild from there.
  • Pick a weight you can move unbroken for all rounds. Dropping the dumbbells early means the load is too heavy.
  • Keep the dumbbells close to your body on presses and carries - it reduces shoulder strain over longer sets.
  • Rest the dumbbells on your thighs between sets rather than bending all the way down to the floor each time.
