Happy WELLNESS WEDNESDAY, friends!
Last year, I shared WINTER WORKOUT #1, and today, I have #2!
I try and lift weights at least four days a week, and it’s always on my own. Sometimes, I’ll get bored of “the usual” and head to the internet to shake things up (or my beloved Fit Bod app which I use all the time!), so I’m sharing this little workout incase you’re in a rut too.
This is a quick strength training/get your heartrate up workout that you could do at home with just a few sets of dumbbells or at the gym. I tried to keep it simple and not use any equipment outside of a few sets of dumbbells. I love routines like this because they’re easy, you can do them anywhere (home, gym, while you’re traveling), and they have a little cardio burst too.
I did this one just yesterday and from start to finish, it only took me 35 minutes.
If you don’t know what the exercise is, I linked videos I found on YouTube to hopefully make it easier for you.
Below, I have each weighted exercise for 15 reps, but you can always go heavier and do less reps too depending on your fitness level/goals. Make this work for you.
Enjoy! xx
Here you go for a quick workout:
Every exercise is hyperlinked with a YouTube video showing that specific exercise. I hope this helps!
Warm up with a one minute wall sit (or less if you can’t make the minute)
Next up, run through this entire set:
1: BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT (while holding a set of weights)
3X15
3X15
3: JUMP SQUATS
3X10
4: TRICEP EXTENSION (using only one weight)
3×15
3X15
6: BURPEES
3X10
3X15
8: TRICEP DIPS
3X15
3X10
3X15
11: HAMMER CURLS
3X15
12: DEAD BUGS
1 MINUTE
You can either do each exercise three times all the way through once or you can do each exercise one time through and then repeat the entire circuit three times. Make sense? So you would do 1×15 instead of 3×15 (and repeat).
This hits several major body parts plus gives you a bit of cardio. When I was done, I went for a 20 minute walk around the neighborhood and called it a day.
Here’s to gettin’ active today! xx

Thank you!! I just got into lifting back in the fall and it’s fun to mix it up. I also appreciate a 35 minute full body workout!! Yesterday, at the gym my husband (of 22 years) told me my weight on the lat pull down machine was “impressive” and I basically wanted to marry him all over again. 😍

I don’t blame you one bit!
Jennifer says
Great workout! When you’re on your own, how do you keep track of what exercise is next? Do you keep the list on your notes app on your phone?
Mix and Match Mama says
Two different ways! The Fit Bod app keeps track of it for you and then I keep a notes page on my phone for other times.
Beth says
Your post is great timing, thank you!!
Kit says
Love when you post at home workouts!
Mary says
Thanks so much for this workout. With osteoporosis, it’s so important to strength train and I need a home workout for days I can’t go to the gym. Curious as to what you think about 10,000 steps/day.
Mix and Match Mama says
I think getting 10,000 steps in a day is amazing!
Alexa says
Thank you for this! Did it yesterday.
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay! My legs were sore the next day…randomly my left leg more than my right!
Kelli says
