Get Your Beach Body Ready Only Using These Dumbbell Workouts

Spring is on the way, and everyone’s working toward a beach body before summer arrives. Rather than utilizing all sorts of machines, why not try an entire beach body workout solely with dumbbells? Beyond requiring more stabilization and using small muscles in addition to large muscle groups, dumbbells are often more accessible than many machines. They also come in a variety of different weights so individuals can easily customize their workout. Thus, users can switch weights between exercises depending on their comfort level. Chest, triceps, biceps, shoulders, core, quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves will all feel the burn after this full-body routine.

Weighted Situps

Weighted situps, which engage the entire core, are slightly different from the standard exercise. First, lay on the floor so your back touches the ground, knees are bent ninety degrees, and the soles of your feet are flat on the floor. Ensure the knees remain aligned with your hips throughout the exercise. Hold the chosen dumbbell close to your chest, with hands on each cap, and then inhale. Exhale as you sit up, keeping a straight spine as much as possible. Inhale as you lower your torso back to the floor. Keep your back from rounding, as this lessens pressure on the lowers back and lumbar spine.

Goblet Squats

Goblet squats work quads, calves, adductors, and abductors. Hamstrings may be engaged as well. To do goblet squats, select a dumbbell and hold it vertically with your palms open and supporting the underside of one of the caps, with fingers curled around the sides. Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width distance apart with the soles flat on the ground. Keep a tall, straight spine to lessen pressure on the lower back. As you inhale, bend your knees and shift weight back into your heels so your quads come parallel to the ground. Exhale, press into the soles of your feet to straighten your legs until just before they lock at the knees. Shift your hips forward at the top of the movement. Repeat as many times as desired.
