If you've ever wondered how to get stronger at home or how to lose weight with home workouts, this workout series is for you.
I created the Beginner to Beast series to help people build muscle, burn fat and get fitter, all from home with a pair of dumbbells.
Watch the video below or scroll down to learn more and get started today.
Workout formats
Each workout is around 30 minutes, broken into four working blocks
Each block is six minutes with 3-5 exercises. You do two rounds of these exercises.
This format allows you to scale the workouts to your current fitness level.
Beginners only have to do the first two blocks of each workout
Intermediates will go up to round three
Advanced will go all the way. I try to spice up the fourth round a bit on some the sessions
Weekly Workout schedule
Monday - chest and triceps
Tuesday - back and biceps
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - chest and back
Friday - HIIT
Rest days
This is a 5 days a week schedule, so you have two rest days. Use them whenever it suits you best. You don't have to go five days on and then two days off.

How to progress
To get fitter, stronger and leaner, aim to get an extra block in your workouts every couple of weeks.
Focus first on doing more of each workouts, then you can start thinking about using heavier weights.
Here is an example. Let's take a beginner who wants to see more muscle definition and get fitter.
They do the first two blocks of each workouts the first week. It's hard, but they manage it.
The second week, the workouts are still challenging so they still do the first two blocks.
On the third week, they manage to get three blocks on three out of the five sessions.
On week five they get three blocks on all the routines.
Week six is another week of three blocks across all sessions.
They have a fantastic weekend before week seven, and end up doing all the workouts until the end.
Progress will look different for all of us. Some of you may be able to progress faster than this, some slower. What matters is to do it in a sustainable manner.
Can you still do other workouts?
Of course!
Use this series as your core training OR as a fitness benchmark you revisit every few weeks to test your progress. Mix and match with other workouts if that keeps you motivated.
