35-Minute Dumbbell Tabata (beginner to advanced)

This 35-minute dumbbell tabata is perfect when you are short on time, want to work all the muscles in the body and get the ol' heart rate up.

All levels welcomed with this workout, too. I give modifications throughout, and even show how to sub the leg moves if your knees are feeling sore.

The more of your videos I do, the more I like you PJ! Thank you for keeping it simple too- all those super complex moves some trainers like to do just trip me up and I don't get a good workout.

This was a great workout, love tabata and the mix of weights and plyo

[drjenniferwatts]

Wore an 8-lb weighted body vest along with the light dumbbell. What an awesome sweaty challenge! I needed more of an active cool down before stretching, so I just paused you and did that first. 👍🏻🙌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

Great workout PJ. Love the way you combined strength training with cardio. Top notch.

[Biznetzy]

Great workout! Wanted to high-five you at the end .... oh my goodness!

[darcie]

Whew that was a sweat fest! Thanks....I think;)Do you have any bosu with dumbbell workouts?

[JulesHymn]

That was a lot of reps!  Sweating like a horse right now.  I was about to give up after 23 minutes (I get bored easily). But I stuck it out because I'm also as stubborn as a mule and refuse to give up.
