New 100 Dumbbell workouts PDF....how to use

[Abomatic]

Hi,

I lost 70 pounds using Darebee back in 2019. I've gained is all back sadly. It's time to get back on the wagon.

This new PDF is appealing to me. Is it intended to be done one page per day? I'm not sure how to incorporate the different characters styles at the top of the PDF or the classic and circuit workouts at the bottom.

I really enjoy just following a plan and not figuring things out, so too much figuring and planning turns me off.

Appreciate any help! Thanks.

So from what I can tell looking at the PDF, you have options (like much of Darebee).

If you want to go through them one a day, that's an option, just be aware of your body and do fewer sets if you're tired. This pdf has the workouts setup alphabetically for easy searching, rather than by difficulty, so you wouldn't be getting the same type of 'active rest' day that a Darebee Program has worked into it. This means you'd have to be more aware of how you're feeling and take a rest, or lessen the weight or reps, depend on how you're feeling.

Or, you can follow the plans for one of the body types at the top. Those are workout plans to help you schedule your workouts. So when it says a workout type (Full body, Upper Body, Push/Pull A or B) you slot in whichever of the workouts you feel like doing in those spots. On the rest or casual workout, you either take a full rest, or do active resting like walking, or a light workout.

The last page is just an explanation for how the different workouts are designed. One has a number of sets that you can do of all the exercizes for different difficulty levels, the other you do all the sets for one exercize at a time before moving onto the next. Other than helping to understand how the two types of workouts are set up, you don't need to worry about that page.

My biggest suggestion if you'd like to use the dumbbell workouts is to pick a schedule from the body types at the top, do a quick scan of the workouts, and (if you've printed them off) find a way to label them for what type they are (Full Body, Upper Body, Lower Body, etc) so that you can easily find the type you're looking for to slot into your schedule. That way you can set up your schedule at the beginning of the week and not have to worry too much about it after that.
