You may be able to work up to this, but I doubt anyone could keep it up for long unless you really managed your recovery. I think it's a recipe for burnout. Yes, the arms get some benefit, but I would still recommend supplementing your program with more direct arm work - like you suggested, pullups and pushups. In the dumbbell swing, the arm acts more like a stabilizer than the primary mover. Hi Shimon,

It's a great full body exercise that will help you with your fat loss goals. Hi Angela,

Biceps triceps underarm shoulders squats etc. I love it. I have lost half a stone and an inch from thighs and half an inch so far from hips and waist. I feel great. Eating healthily but still need to lose three stone. I play tennis twice a week but really dislike cardio. I am looking for dumbell core exercises and have found yours and something called the Double Dumb bell Swing for abs! Please can you advise. Shall I include these on top or drop some of those?
