Day 9 of EPIC | Full Body Workout with Dumbbells | 1 hour No Repeat
Day 9 in the EPIC Program and itβs a 1 hour full body workout with Dumbbells!!! We will be hitting our entire body with many different compound and isolating exercises each for 40 seconds of work with 20 seconds to get ready for the next!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 10 kg x 2. You will also need a mat and a stable chair for Bulgarian lunges, bodyweight dips and decline push ups! It is handy also to have a wall or something steady nearby to help stabilise you during certain exercises such as pistol squats, particularly as these are towards the end and even if you can do this movement normally, they will be a lot more difficult after so many lower body exercises!
Throughout I will alternate between using 2 dumbbells, 1 dumbbell and bodyweight so depending on the weight you have at home, you can use 2 dumbbells if Iβm using 1 dumbbell or drop to 1 dumbbell when you need to for example.
Donβt worry about losing balance during certain movements.. I do sometimes and just take a second to reset and try again!

π§ About This Track
This 1 hour and 3 minutes audio journey has been thoughtfully composed to provide an authentic experience featuring rain sounds that have been carefully recorded and mastered for optimal relaxation.

Every element has been balanced to ensure a consistent experience throughout, without jarring transitions or sudden changes that might disrupt your relaxation.

The rain sounds in this track range from gentle drizzles to steady rainfall, creating a natural rhythm that the human brain finds deeply soothing. Research has shown that rain sounds activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones and promoting relaxation. The audio captures the full spectrum of rainfall, from the soft patter on leaves to the deeper tones of rain on various surfaces.
Listening to this audio can provide numerous benefits for both mental and physical well-being. Rain sounds have been scientifically shown to reduce cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone. The consistent, natural rhythm helps regulate heart rate and breathing, promoting a state of deep relaxation. Many listeners report improved sleep quality and reduced anxiety after incorporating rain sounds into their routines. For sleep specifically, this audio helps quiet an overactive mind and create consistent conditions for rest.
Research in environmental psychology has demonstrated that rain sounds belong to a category called 'pink noise' - sounds that have equal energy per octave. Unlike white noise, pink noise more closely mimics natural sound patterns, which the human brain finds inherently calming. Studies published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology found that pink noise can enhance deep sleep by synchronizing brain waves with the sound patterns. The rhythmic, predictable nature of rainfall activates the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering a relaxation response that reduces heart rate and blood pressure.
