For this workout you’ll be doing a starter exercise, followed by two supersets (where you do two exercises back-to-back) and a finisher. You’re going to aim for 10 to 12 reps of each exercise and do three rounds of each in total, so you’ll want to use a pair of medium dumbbells. If you only have really light ones, don’t worry, either slow down the movement or add some additional reps in. Ready? Here’s your workout.

Superset 1
- Bulgarian split squats
- Staggered stance RDL
Superset 2
