The “All I Need is One Dumbbell” Workout

Posted in Uncategorized on July 8, 2013 by mboyle1959

Every year we get questions about in-season workouts, workouts on the road, workouts on vacation or workouts in a hotel. The truth is you can actually get a great workout in with only one dumbbell.

Take a dumbbell that will be challenging for dumbbell rows ( challenging but, not the heaviest you could use, think 80%) and then do the following

Goblet Split Squat  x10 ea leg

Pushup x10-20 ( no dumbbell needed)

1 Leg Straight Leg Deadlift x10 ea leg ( dumbbell in hand)

DB Row x10

Do this circuit 3-4 times and you will have a great total body workout with only one dumbbell.

Permission- Brad Kaczmarski
If you have been in this field for a long time you have gone through the curve. This is: thinking you know everything, thinking you know nothing, getting settled with what you believe and what you do.

What I Learned From Coaching Kids, Again- Michael Boyle
I must admit, I had grand visions. I am such a great teacher/ coach that I would whip this group into shape in no time. Well, maybe not. Instead, these young women taught or re-taught me some valuable lessons.

I recently filmed a series of videos for my friends at Stack Magazine and Stack.com . The first in the series is a pretty good breakdown of how to teach the squat.
