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, 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.
