Must-Do-Dumbbell-Exercises part 1

Today, I want to bring up the first part of Must-Do-Dumbbell-Exercises. Dumbbells are very effective at helping you develop functional strength, which is the type of strength that is most practical for your everyday life. Exercise Machines are a better option for beginners as they are easier to learn how to use than dumbbells. The dumbbell exercises of today are for the muscle groups: Biceps (Bi's), Triceps (Tri's) and Legs. These exercises are all part of my Workout routine. I hope that these exercises will bring some variation into your Workout routine!   

When I am training my Bi's, most of the time I am starting off with the Seated Concentration Curls exercise. I do this because this exercise really demands full energy/strength in order to be effective. It is not wise to finish your Biceps workout with this exercise as you may have used all of your energy so that performing this exercise correctly becomes a very hard task. I usually do 1-warming up set, followed by 5 sets of 12-10-8-8-6 repetitions (reps). This exercise will definitely make you feel the blood flowing into your Bi's! 

Next up are the Tri's. The Dumbbell Tricep Kickback exercise is highly effective for shaping your Tri's. This is a great exercise to finish your Tri's Workout with. Make sure that your upper arm remains parallel to the floor during the exercise. Recommendation is to start off with really light weights to get used to the fore-arm movement of kicking back.


The Forward Lunge is a dynamic and functional lower body exercise. This exercise delivers many benefits including strength in the legs and butt as well as improved balance and body awareness. Lunges also develop muscular endurance and explosive strength in the thighs. 


Stay tuned for the Must-Do-Dumbbell-Exercises (part 2) of the muscle groups: Back, Shoulders and Chest.
