Don’t miss out! The Super Oats GIVEAWAY ends tomorrow. One lucky reader will win a load of LOVE (Grown Foods).

Guys! I don’t know what happened, but do you remember how I was resisting Fall’s arrival? Well, something switched and I am all about autumn now. Perhaps it’s the new brown riding boots that are on their way… who knows, but YES to pumpkin, big sweaters and dark jeans.
Fall doesn’t mean we can get lazy though. You still want toned, sleek arms and a flat tummy under all those cozy layers, don’t you? I know I do. Tag this 20-minute arms and abs routine onto a cardio day. This workout was built upon the philosophy of lighter weights + higher reps = long and lean.
What’ll You’ll Need
- 2 dumbbells, 5-10lb.
Exercises
- front shoulder raises
- up/down planks (alternate arms)
- renegade rows (alternate arms)
- side plank dips
- windmills
- spider push-ups
- chest press + glute bridge
- v-ups
Notes
- Use dumbbells for exercises 1, 3, 5, and 7
- No weights required for exercises 2, 4, 6, and 8 (use a dumbbell for the v-ups to make them more challenging)
Happy Workout Wednesday!

Awesome! Will definitely be trying this.
As always, love your workouts! This one looks like a good one!!
I love a good arm workout. My favorite move is probably shoulder raises because I really feel the burn. Favorite ab exercise? Hmm. Probably reverse crunches!
Looks like an awesome workout! You look stunning and gorgeous in that dumbbell pic! :D
:)
Great workout and I love the fall workout printout! My favorite arm exercise is a bicep curl. Abs… hmm, I guess pilates moves!
Just curious… with your bicep curls, do you typically do heavier weight and fewer reps or lighter weight, higher reps?
It really depends upon the workout, but I tend to lean more towards light weights and high reps as a general philosophy (although I do lift heavy weights on occasion as well!).
my new fall boots got me in the autumn spirit as well :)
I love the good old shoulder press and planks are the BEST!
Wearing my brown riding boots today! It doesn’t really get autumnal in SF, but with the sun rising later, the air is crisper in the morning.
This workout looks good… think I will do it tomorrow.
Looks like a good one! Renegade rows are a killer move.
Love the workout!
Favorite arm exercise is a push-up/row. Love to hate jackknives for the abs. But, my favorite ab exercise has to be track sprints! So good for the core.
Love your Workout Wednesdays (well, really, I love all your posts), but especially because, as a birthday present to myself, I bought a 15# kettlebell. I can’t wait to start throwing it around with some of the workouts you posted the other week!
That’s an awesome birthday present — have fun!
Oooh, I’ve got to pin this workout. Love it!
That pic of you is too cute! And I am loving all things fall right now! Especially the pumpkin and apples. Oh, and the cool runs outside!
Loving the fall theme!
