FAQ
Is a 10-minute arm workout enough?
Yes, short sessions work, especially on busy days. 10 minutes done consistently adds up, and you can stack two routines back to back when you have more time.
How often should I do this arm workout?
Aim for 2 to 3 times a week, with a rest day in between. Increase the level once the current one feels easy.
Can beginners do this workout?
Yes. The beginner version uses easier exercise variations and longer rest. Move at your own pace, and keep good form over speed. Pause the timer whenever you need to.
Do I need any equipment?
Just a pair of dumbbells. Pick a weight you can control for the full work interval with good form; adjustable dumbbells are ideal for home workouts.
