No Gym? No Problem — Grab 2 Dumbbells For a Total-Body-Blasting Home Workout

Fitness

A home workout with dumbbells is exactly what you need to try if you’ve decided to lift outside of the gym. No matter what your favorite style of training is, we highly recommend adding in strength training — dumbbell exercises or moves with other weights like kettlebells or a medicine ball — as a supplementary workout to build muscle and improve muscular imbalances, strength, and power. To help you out, we’ve got a total-body dumbbell workout that will leave you feeling sweaty, strong, and sore in the best way possible. Moves include goblet squats, bent-over rows, and bicep curls.

Grab your weights, turn on your favorite playlist, and get ready to work. Not exactly sure how much you should be lifting? Use this simple guide to choose the right weight.
