This 10-minute dumbbell workout with coach Lindsay Belzie is designed to help build functional strength and muscular endurance while helping you develop lean muscle. Strength classes will include a variety of circuits targeting the largest muscles in your body — your glutes and legs. Get outside of your comfort zone, get sweaty and get stronger! If you don’t have a set of dumbbells, you can use full water bottles instead. Make sure you are steady on your mat and use a chair for stability.

Remember to maintain regular breathing throughout and take breaks as needed. If you feel any resistance or pain, stretch carefully without overextending yourself.
