Difficulty: Beginner to intermediate.
Modifications: While some exercises use legs for stability, alternatives focusing solely on the upper body are available.
Equipment: Light dumbbells and a two-handled resistance band with an anchor are optional. I completed the workout without any equipment, relying solely on muscle tension and controlled movements.
Sweat factor: Ranges from minimal to moderate, depending on your pace and intensity.
