45-Minute Arms and Abs Workout | Dumbbells, Drop Set Format

Sculpted arms and a toned abs -- that s the goal of this 45-MINUTE ARMS AND ABS Workout! 🔥 This workout is a drop set format -- meaning we ll reduce reps with each additional set. This is a great way to challenge yourself with heavy weights. You ll do the most intense set (in terms of how many reps there are) at the beginning of the workout, and then drop reps as you start to fatigue. 🚨SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL for more FREE workouts: https://bit.ly/NMLYoutubeSubscribe 💜 Become a member of Team NML (for exclusive workouts, community + accountability): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIiI9tAbgvSPPL_50gefFtw/join ✨THE WORKOUT: 45-Minute ARMS and ABS Workout✨ ► EQUIPMENT: Medium-to-Heavy Set of Dumbbells.
