Zero squats, zero lunges, zero knee pain — and a full body burn in 35 minutes. This Switchback circuit is the knee friendly workout that actually challenges you.
I spent my whole thirties training on an empty stomach because I thought it made me faster. Here is what changed when I stopped.
My 46th birthday workout, and you helped build it. Every exercise you requested made it in. 45 minutes, dumbbells only, and nothing repeats — strength paired with cardio to build muscle and burn fat over 40.
Some days you want to train but you just can’t face being upright and jumping around. This floor strength workout is for those days. 45 minutes, dumbbells only, every rep from the mat, and still a seriously good session.
