Life happens.at an incredible pace. Just three weeks ago I was at the gym deciding if I should grab a slice of pizza and go watch a movie with my girlfriend, and now’s there’s a hoarding of items, self-quarantine, social distancing, and lines to get into Costco that stretches for entire blocks. What happened? All I want to know is when my gym is going to open up again.  

Well for these instances, you need a contingency plan. Luckily for you, we have the Emergency Workout. It utilizes just a pair of dumbbells and a pullup bar for a conditioning session that will tax all your major muscles, from head to toe.

The best part? You’ll be done in less than 30 minutes.

The Workout Explained

For the sake of time and efficiency, you’ll be ditching single-joint moves like curls and lateral raises. The pushing and pulling compound exercises will work your big muscles (as well as your smaller vanity muscles), and the supersets will rev up your metabolism and burn more calories.
