I've started to slowly get back to doing dumbbell workouts after a long layoff. I have full set of dumbbells from 10-65, and looking to find a decent 30 minute, 4 days a week type regiment. I'm not really looking to bulk up, just burn some fat and build up my strength. I know pretty much what type of exercises I am going to do, but not sure which muscles I should focus on for each workout.

Should I do arms/shoulders together and then legs/back together, or would some other combo be even better, like arms/back and then legs/shoulders. Or does it even really matter that much?

Z-press
Bodyweight chins
Overhead reverse lunge

Bodybuilding-3-5 sets each

Suoerset
Close grip pushup
Lying DB extension

Superset
Side lateral raises
Front lateral raises
Bent over rear delt flyes

Giant set-5 rounds

Weighted pushups

DB swing
Situps


Giant set-3 rounds- max reps in 45 sec
Pushups
Renegade row
DB sldl
Farmers walk


Bodybuilding- pick a couple supersets and focus on biceps and calves


Quick and easy. If you are wanting to do more "functional fitness" pick up Ryan Fischer's 30 day dumbbell workouts. Or just do p90x

My 4 day split:

Legs and biceps
Chest
Back
Shoulders and triceps

Works for me.

When the gyms started closing I did a search for "Intermediate Dumbbell Workouts". Muscle and Strength online had some 12 week progressive workouts starting with a 3 day/week, then 4, to a 5 day/week workout. Here is a link to the 4 day/week workout.

Do Lift 4 beach body workout. I do that combined with some 5 minute dumbbell circuits and I’m in the best shape of my life.
