Power HIIT - Dumbbells  Fitness Program by DAREBEE
SETS

Day 11 returns to the floor with a lower target. Three intervals of 20 seconds - bridges with a dumbbell resting on your hips, straight leg raises, and a hold with both legs hovering just off the floor - at 3, 5 or 7 sets by level, one minute of rest between sets. The bridges you know from Day 3; the other two-thirds of this session belong entirely to your lower abs.

The sequencing borrows the work-then-freeze logic the program has been quietly teaching. Leg raises lift both legs toward vertical and lower them slowly without touching down, loading the abs hardest in the last few degrees of the descent - and the final interval simply moves into that low zone and stays, legs hovering above the floor while the midsection holds the line. Coming straight after the weighted hip work of the bridges, the pair gives the front and back of your trunk equal billing in a single sixty-second set.

Drive the bridges to full hip extension with the dumbbell steady - the weight rises because your glutes push it, not because your back arches. During leg raises, keep your lower back pressed into the floor and shorten the range the moment it tries to lift. In the hold, pick a hover height you can defend for the full 20 seconds and keep breathing; the count stops mattering the second your heels touch down.

The first half of the set lifts your hips, the second half refuses to lower your legs - Day 11 plays both ends of stubborn.

Make it Harder: Lower the hover an inch closer to the floor for the hold - the longer the lever, the louder the abs.

Make it Easier: Keep your legs higher during the hold - the closer to vertical, the lighter they weigh.

Grateful for your promise in keeping this site accessible and free for people of all fitness levels & goals around the world. Found Darebee some time years ago and used to just save the workouts and then forget about them somewhere in my documents & to do later lists 😅 but coming back to the site this year I loved the organised/simple layout & navigation of the site with full workout video at bottom to see proper form and notes to make things easier or harder depending on your fitness/energy aswell as an extensive exercise library with joint friendly alternatives. I found it much easier to track/check off completed workouts & days on program/plan on dashboard, was more likely to remember & do it + advanced filter made it quick to find a doable workout. As a tiny way to support this site I made account and use the site exclusively for exercises now, will look to donate when I can 🙏🏽 and would recommend it to all I talk to regarding fitness. Thank you Darebee team for the great job you've all done here and keep up the good work. Blessings to you all.

I found Darebee in 2014 and since then I’ve been using it on and off until 2024, when I decided to base all my workouts on Darebee alone. I love the pictures, the variety, the amount of time it takes… I found Darebee in 2014 and since then I’ve been using it on and off until 2024, when I decided to base all my workouts on Darebee alone. I love the pictures, the variety, the amount of time it takes to complete a workout and how you can mix and match if you have a lot of energy or only repeat 3 times if you don’t feel like exercising. The website is awesome and I recommend it whenever I talk about fitness with other people. I cannot thank Darebee enough for how much this project has helped me in having a solid exercise routine and how to deal with exercise when tired, injured or when I don’t have much time.
