The workout suggested by him includes exercises that are non-technical. These exercises will target your core as well as your legs. And another great feature is that the entire session can be completed in only 15 minutes. However, just because the exercises are not that complicated and the workout seems to be short in duration, does not mean that it is an easy one.
The workout will take all your strength and dedication. But if one really pushes themselves, they might just start feeling like Arnold Schwarzenegger from his golden era. What are the exercises included in this 15-minute workout?
The four horsemen of this workout
The workout consists of four exercises in total. These are Overhead Farmer’s Walk, Alternating Dumbbell Lunges, Press Up Renegade Row, and Paused Goblet Squat. Now they might sound complicated, but here’s the simplified version. For the Overhead Farmer’s walk, one simply needs to clench the dumbbells overhead in a neutral grip and walk for 30 seconds while controlling the weight overhead. for the Alternate Dumbell Lunges, one needs to hold the dumbbells, tighten the core, and start lunging.

For the Press Up Renegade Row, get in a plank position with your dumbbells in each hand. Then press up with your elbows just below your shoulders, in an ‘arrow’ shape. Now push on the floor to return to a plank position. Now row one weight to your hip. Now perform another press-up and so on. For the Paused Goblet Squat, hold the dumbbell as you would a goblet. Now get into a low squat. Repeat.
