Home Dumbbell Workout
A home dumbbell workout can be very effective. Most people will underestimate the potential dumbbell weights can have in sculpting a great body. You do not necessarily need a gym to get the body you deserve. This home workout I am going to give you will work for men and women, young and old.
Go get some dumbbells!
The home dumbbell workout will comprise of 5 main exercises. I have chosen these particular exercises to cater for a wide variety of people. Some may question as to why a male and female workout would be designed the same, well for men the effect of the workout will be to add muscle(because you are full of testerone) and lose fat. While for women the workout will tone muscles (not add size, because you are not full of testerone!) and lose fat. So here we go…
1.Swings with one arm
Begin with you legs slightly wider than your shoulders with one dumbbell between your legs. Pick up the dumbbell with either you left or right hand and swing the dumbbell between your legs up to shoulder height.
Number Two- Squat and Press
A great one for an overall fat burning response. Begin with a dumbbell in each hand in the squat position. Thrust your legs up and then press the dumbbells over your head.
3.Rowing upright
Stand up with your back arched flat. Have a dumbbell in each hand and then ‘row’ the dumbbells back as if your elbows are being pulled towards the ceiling. This one is great for all of your arms and back!
Four.Alternate lunges
These are one of the best dumbbell home workout exercises. Lunges use your legs which are huge muscle group. This means you will use up alot of calories and burn plenty of fat. Even better for guys is that by training your legs you will release growth hormones which will actually improve your upper body gains. Begin with a dumbbell in each hand and then lunge with your right then left leg.
Number Five- Chest Push
And finally one which will tone your chest. Quite a simple one, lie on a flat surface (your floor is fine!) have a dumbbell in each hand and push until your arms are straight.
Sets and reps?
Three cycles of this home dumbbell workout will take around 20 mins. Rest about 30 seconds between each exercise.
You can use whatever amount of weight you feel comfortable with
