The timer will be on for 30 seconds per exercise, with 4 exercises to build each giant set! There will be no specific rest period between each giant set so it is essentially 2 minutes of work!
This is not HIIT, this is moderate intensity cardio where your heart rate will be elevated for most of the workout! During HIIT, the heart rate is spiked throughout and this dumbbell cardio is more moderate level sustained throughout! This doesn’t mean any less intensity that HIIT though! It’s just as challenging just in a different way! Sweat throughout too! 😅
All you will need for this sweaty workout is a pair of dumbbells and your mat! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 6kg each!
There is no jumping in this workout as I don’t incorporate jumping with weight very often. However I do ‘hop’ back into the plank however you can simply step back into the plank if preferred!
Although this is with lighter weights, it is important to treat those dumbbells with respect! Control the dumbbells at all times!

It is a challenge to pace the full 2 minutes but the 30 seconds changing movement becomes very welcomed!
Have fun and enjoy the sweat!
