Dumbbells 101:

Yourself, in comfy clothing :)

Additionally, please bring water, a towel or yoga mat for core instruction, and a pair of dumbbells if you have them - 5, 8, or 10lbs is adequate as we will be exploring movement together.

I will bring a few sets as well. If you have extras, feel free to bring them to share.

You can expect to leave the workshop with an understanding of:

• how to perform basic dumbbell exercises properly
  

• how to pair exercises for an effective (and efficient!) circuit workout + how to structure a week of workouts
  

• how to think about core rehab + functional strength

All participants will receive a follow-up email with a PDF download of notes from the workshop along with my Secrets of Effortless Eating nutrition guide - no calorie counting involved.

This workshop is for anyone who is interested in learning how to use dumbbells for an effective and efficient workout, from just-getting-started exerciser to gym-goer.

Education will be weight-neutral, meaning I will not be using diet culture language that encourages using workouts to lose weight.

If you do have questions about weight loss during the Q&A session, I will be more than happy to answer them with evidence-based guidance.

Please note that this workshop is for ALL bodies, and not everyone who wants to lift weights has weight loss goals.

No, this is a one-time workshop with the goal of helping you feel more confident using dumbbells.

Whether that leads to feeling more comfortable in a group fitness class, or ready to lift weights on your own at home, the intention is to build confidence and offer clarity around what to do for your unique goals.

You might even find a friend in the group to hold you accountable!
