In Shaun T‘s latest program, LET’S GET UP!, he combines easy-to-follow cardio dance sequences, body-weight resistance training exercises, INSANITY-based moves set to music, and two weekly dumbbell resistance workouts.
When it comes to increasing strength, torching fat, and improving overall performance, it’s tough to beat resistance-training exercises, says Shaun’s fellow Super Trainer, Idalis Velazquez.
“Adding resistance training is necessary to increase overall wellness, mobility, longevity, and fitness level,” she explains.
Plus, resistance training exercises can be done with equipment like kettlebells, resistance bands, dumbbells, or with your own body weight.
“For the resistance days in LET’S GET UP!, the workouts are set to a rhythm to help you tone and build muscular endurance,” says Amanda Lopez, Beachbody’s Technical Fitness Advisor, who worked with Shaun T on his program.
“They still have the same dance conditioning workouts, except you’re adding weight for extra burn,” she adds.
1. Dumbbell Deadlifts
2. Biceps Curls
3. Dumbbell Chest Flys
4. Dumbbell Bent-Over Rows
5. Dumbbell Goblet Squats
6. Glute Bridges
Need Modifications?
Whether you’re a beginner, coming back from injury, or just need to dial it down for a workout, it’s not a problem.
Lopez says there are modifications for the resistance training exercises in LET’S GET UP! that involve using lighter weights, and/or doing a lesser range of motion.
Shaun T will also feature more challenging modifications if you feel ready to progress.
“Because this program focuses on muscle endurance and toning, you’ll definitely feel the burn with something like 5-pound dumbbells,” she says.
And if you want to go heavier, you have the option, too.
