There are many exercises that can be done with dumbbells. We will go over some of the most effective workouts you can do at home with a set of dumbbells.
The fist body part we will work is the pectoralis major, also known as the chest. The chest is a favorite body part for most people, all you do is lay down and press the dumbbells up above your chest.
A second effective exercise is for the biceps. You simply stand with the weights at your side and curl them while not allowing your elbows to come forward.
Okay lets get to the shoulders. If you want to look good you need nice shoulders. You do this by doing shoulder presses with dumbbells pressing them above your head and lowering them until the arm are straight parallel to the floor.
The shoulder can also be worked in another way. We can do lateral raises to develop the side delts and front raises to work the anterior part of the shoulder.
Lets look at the triceps, this is where the big arms come from. To hit triceps you want to extend your arm until it is straight and then return it to normal.
To do the back we will keep kneeling on said bench. But, now we will let the weight hand straight down and then pull it up to the chest.
All these exercises can be done with dumbbells from you home. To avoid a mess of many dumbbells you might want to consider buying adjustable dumbbells. Adjustable dumbbells will allow you to save more space in your house while still providing you with all the weight needed to do a variety of exercises.
