I’m sharing a full body St Patrick’s Day workout in honor of the Irish holiday.
Are you celebrating St Patrick’s Day on Friday? I may be planning to have some corned beef and cabbage. I’m puppysitting my boyfriend’s bulldog on Saturday night. While I wish my boyfriend was going to be with us, I’m also looking forward to some quality one on one dog time. I can’t get enough of those slobbery dog kisses and snuggles. It won’t be a very exciting weekend, but you need a low key weekend sometimes.
You can find my other St Patrick’s Day workouts from previous years here and here. It’s always fun for me to look back at posts from years ago.
If you’re looking for a pair or two of dumbbells to use with this workout, I like these ones (affiliate link). This yoga mat (affiliate link) is also a favorite of mine for exercises that are done on the floor like crunches or push ups.
Perform 12 reps x 3 sets of each exercise. Rest for 2 minutes between each set. While I know it can feel like too much rest, you’ll want to wait the full two minutes between sets to maintain correct form. I know that when I get too tired my form starts to go. It’s not worth getting hurt! I typically use a lighter dumbbell for upper body exercises and a heavier one for lower body.
- Bench press
- Alternating dumbbell lunges
- Push ups
- Dumbbell squat
- Overhead press
- Dumbbell step up

As always, check with your doctor before beginning to workout. Honor your body and modify the workout for you.
