Utilize dumbbells to increase muscle size, muscle tone, strength and anaerobic fitness. Dumbbells are an exercise tool used by themselves or in conjunction with barbells, kettlebells,<\/a> fitballs,<\/a> exercise machines and resistance bands<\/a>. Dumbbells are versatile and work the muscles in all three planes of motion. Dumbbell training isolates the primary working muscles while recruiting the assisting and stabilizing muscles to a higher degree than barbell training or exercise machines. Dumbbells can be employed in strengthening and endurance exercises for the upper and lower body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower Body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Utilize dumbbells to stimulate gains in muscle strength, size and tone in the glutes<\/a>, thighs<\/a> and calves. Hold a dumbbell in each hand by your side while performing squats to target the glutes<\/a>, quads<\/a>, and hamstrings<\/a>. Execute walking or standing lunges<\/a> while holding dumbbells at your sides to develop the quadriceps<\/a>, hamstrings<\/a> and glutes<\/a>. Train your calves by performing calf raises on a step with a dumbbell in one hand and the other hand holding a railing or wall for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upper Body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Train your upper body with a plethora of dumbbell exercises. Dumbbell bench press and flyes target the pectoralis muscles<\/a>. Dumbbell overhead presses and lateral raises develop the shoulders<\/a> and triceps.<\/a> Reverse dumbbell flyes<\/a> build strength in the posterior shoulder<\/a>. Achieve strength in your midback muscles<\/a> by executing dumbbell rows. Bicep curls and tricep kickbacks with a dumbbell strengthen the upper arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grip Strength<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Build impressive grip strength with dumbbell training. Dumbbell exercises such as the farmers walk, hammer curls, wrist curls and reverse wrist curl<\/a>s build power and size in your forearms, wrists and hands. Perform these exercises after all others to prevent fatigued gripping muscles from limiting strength in other lifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Obtain power by performing Olympic style lifts with dumbbells. Perform heavy dumbbell cleans, dumbbell jerks and dumbbell snatches to develop power along with athleticism, balance, and coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporate dumbbell training in your training regimen for optimum results. Use dumbbells along with barbells, kettlebells<\/a>, resistance bands<\/a> and body weight exercises<\/a> to develop and maintain strength in your musculoskeletal system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
