This workout has quite a whole-body approach and cardio challenge. It has got a bit of peripheral heart action going on to ensure the CV system really works. It is designed with minimal equipment and easy transitions to keep it flowing. I’d recommend using a dumbbell weight that works for the chest press and keeping that weight for all the other dumbbell exercises. But there is no reason people can’t adjust the weights up or even use a barbell instead. If you want an even harder challenge you could change the work to rest timings to 40 sec w/10 secs rest and do each set twice before resting and moving onto the next set. I would definitely recommend downloading a timer to use on the phone for this
