Dumbbell Exercises That Are Easy

For those of you that do not want a gym membership and don’t have enough space in your home for a complete workout area, dumbbell exercises are the perfect solution. Dumbbell exercises allow you to work almost every muscle group in your body. This article, however, will focus on the muscles you want looking good before the summer season.
Seated Bicep Curls:
Begin seated with a dumbbell in each hand at your side. Then, slowly lift the dumbbell up towards your shoulder, slightly rotating the dumbbell so the grip bar is parallel to the ground. After, slowly lower the dumbbell back to the original starting position, and repeat with the other arm. The most important part of this dumbbell exercise is to keep the stress on your biceps, and to keep the rest of your body still.
Dumbbell Crunches:
Lie face up on a bench with your knees bent at the end and your feet on the ground. Hold one dumbbell to your chest with both hands, and lift your head and upper body straight towards the sky, pause, then lower back down to the bench. Combine this with a standing bend to get the always-desired six-pack. Holding a dumbbell in one hand at your side, slowly bend at the hips to the side of the dumbbell, keeping your arms and legs straight and focusing on your core. Repeat on the other side.
Shoulder Press:
Holding a dumbbell in each hand standing up, begin with the dumbbells next to your shoulders with elbows facing down. Then, push the dumbbells above your head until your arms are fully extended, pause, then lower to the starting position. Be sure to focus on your shoulders, and not to use your back in order to lift the weights. If needed, this exercise can be performed seated in a chair to provide support for your back.
Dumbbell exercises are used to focus on specific muscle groups. If you find yourself needing to use other muscles to perform these exercises, use lighter dumbbells to keep the stress on the intended muscle group.
